I just bought my new T-bird on 6/6/03. I have been looking at the new T-birds since the photos started appearing in auto magazines, but waited until there was enough of a supply to stop the dealer price gouging. I got the coral colored Bond Edition.

Everyone who sees this car absolutely loves it. My friends all say it is the coolest car they have ever seen. When I drive, I see strangers craning their necks to look at the car. Have you all experienced this?

A friend of mine who saw the car, a few days later showed me a photo he took at a local car show. It was a '56 T-bird in Sunset Coral with a white top. The color looked just like my Bird.

The third day I owned it, I went to lunch at a local outside mall. I was seated at a table where there was a window where I could see the car. All through lunch it was so amusing to watch people gaze and stare at the car. Several people walked across the driveway so they could circle the car and look at it up close. One small SUV was driving down the isle, passed the car by about 30 feet, hit the brakes, put it in reverse and backed up next to the car. After about one minute of looking, he put it in forward and took off. Even another Sky Blue '03 T-bird driver slowed down to look at my Coral colored bird.

Everytime I drive the car, I see people turning and gawking. It is nice, in that it is confirming that the car is as beautiful is I believe it to be.

Is this what all new T-bird owners experience?

sometimes if the light is just right, the coral looks a lot lighter, my neighbor has the sunset coral and so we are always watching the light change!

Welcome to the nest subcom. This web site is a fantastic resource for T-Bird owners. You'll find a lot of good info on your car here. It's all about having fun in here. There are a few...uh..."cracked eggs" in this nest but they can't help it.

Enjoy your new car. My mother has had her's for a little over a year and she still finds people ooohing and ahhhing in the parking lots.

I've had good comments and bad comments, however, the good greatly outweigh the negative. Always expect something in the form of a comment though. These cars will draw attention. Enjoy your moment of fame!

Thanks for all your replies. This is a great place to meet folks and learn a lot about our cars.

Last Friday I was stopped in traffic and next to me was a guy and his wife in a Cadillac. He was gawking at my car and finally asked me, "What year is it?" Should have seen the look on his face when I told him it was an '03.
