I had a 1988 Thunderbird 3.8 liter V-6 that was very efficient on gas. First time I did the mileage test( I bought it used in 1991) it was like 26 mpg. It was not a small car.

I always liked its design. That’s because it was ahead of the car styling curve at the time. GM was still making boxes on wheels.

It was also a low maintenance car—had very little problems with it.

Bought a 1993 T-Bird in 1995 with 35,000 miles, and put 135,000 miles on it. Gave it to a friend a year and a half ago, and it is still going strong.

My son’s 1995 Cougar was a VERY comfortable well riding car, much more than the T-Birds, which shared the body."

WC, thanks for the link. Makes me want to buy another ‘88 T-Bird!

I love the sequential turn signals you can get now for them—I had them on my 1967 Cougar. Yellow, black segmented racing stripe, black vinyl roof, 289 V-8.

Had to sell that car to pay for the baby doctor—for previously mentioned son 30 years ago!
