While silver is the color a lot of folks like on their daily driver, it doesn't seem as popular on retrobirds.

Merlot and Thunderbird Blue seem to be the 2nd or 3rd colors more people like after their own.

If I had to pick another color , it would not be what everyone else has.

For what it's worth, the very last Thunderbird off the production line in 2005 that was given to the Josephine Ford family was platinum silver with a black accent interior.

And for some unknown reason it didn't even have the SST.

Re: What Retro Colors do you like...

Even in used cars some of us voted with our checkbook. Some just waited until they found the color they wanted.
But I, like most used car buyers, went down to buy an 02 Whisper White because that is what they had...... the day I decided to buy a bird. It was a very nice car and after hemming and hawing and driving.....we walked to the office/showroom to sign the deal.... and there.....on the showroom floor.......was a merlot.
Reset!


BTW I voted Tbird blue and the MSG also.

Re: What Retro Colors do you like...

I researched and used Dot's site to decide which color I wanted and then had to wait until I found one I could afford, including the cost of having it shipped all the way from OK. I did not pick red for two reasons: I had a red car previously from Ford and had clearcoat issues that made it look terrible after a few years and I like my red cars like I like my red nail polish and red lipstick, METALLIC. I love the 50s colors, which is why I picked the VMG and Tbird Blue. I don't understand why they didn't do a retro pink with white top. I still would like to eventually buy another bird and have it painted pink.

Maybe this should be on the useless facts thread but FYI there have at least three Thunderbirds re-painted pink.

Re: What Retro Colors do you like...

Multiple choice seems to change things abit, I know this is not a new poll, but kind of like I said, pick three choices, and so far, after you pick your own choice of color and bought already, and choose another 2 colors, like most did here, and with 115 votes in on multiple choice.

Here is some stats of the colors with the most choice of colors...

COLOR________Production____Poll Ratings

MERLOT_______________3991 [5%]___________ 36%
TBird Blue_____________7406 [10%]__________ 29%
Very Mint Green_________612 [1%]___________ 24%
007 Coral______________700 [1%]___________ 22%
Pacific Coast Roadster___1000 [1%]___________ 21%
Torch Red____________14349 [21%]__________ 21%
Desert Sky Blue_________612 [1%]___________ 17%

What surprises me more is...

Evening Black________15287 [22%]__________15%

Not counting the 200 Neiman Marcus Edition...

Neiman Marcus Edition__200 [<1%]__________10%

Better yet... Look at the three up there with 24%, 22%, 21% and 17% with 1% of Production amounts...

Very Mint Green, 007 Coral, Pacific Coast Roadster and Desert Sky Blue...

Torch Red is the only one in the top 7 that was offered more than one year and was also offered every year and is in 6th place...

This poll kind of shows if we had to pick another color for our Bird... It would be MERLOT...

I don't see Cashmere. How many were produced?
