I got the data file electronically from the Ford people, just as promised.
HOWEVER, I can't seem to get the file open for some reason.
As soon as I get it I will post the info.
I am also going to forward the email wuth the data file attached to some people who are more computer literate than me (a retired IBMer no less) in the hopes that they can figure it out.
Thank you for your patience.

One thing the data shows - there were no mismatched body colors with top colors. ie no red tops on black or white cars. No blue tops on black. Reports that, either we had on a forum or I received via email were just rumors or had happened after car was delivered to dealer.
Thank You Joel, for getting this valuable information for us. And anyone from Ford, thank you! too, for our cars and the data!
Deluxe Red with black top and partial accent interior.
Be interesting to know if any of our nesters have the rarest combinations.
21 years, 174K miles, 48 States X 2 & DC, 9 Canadian provinces, 8 European countries, 3 Caribbean Islands, 3 Hawaiian Islands, 100+ National Park locations, 150+ T-bird events, 190+ retrobird diecasts/models, 13 TOTM pics & some very special friends...THANKS TBN !
Thanks so much for the info Joel. Its great to know that there are only a total of 1930 cars just like mine on the road. What would be interesting, but probably impossible to come up with is being rotation # 936, what the rotation # of the car is out of the 1930. My guess is it would be less than 100th.
Joel; Are the Canadian cars listed as premium or deluxe? We got traction control but painted 21 spoke wheels. Mine is black, black hard top with black accent. If we are under deluxe, how many were built with this combo? Also do you know how many made with and with out supl. parking lights?Thanx Joel, this is all great stuff.
