Re: Random useless facts about 2002-2005 Thunderbirds

Of the other 2,223 Tbirds sold in Canada, how many had the 21 spoke chrome wheels?

\ \ \ \ \ ___________________________

Just the 55 Bond 007 models that went to Canada. None of the 2002 Neiman Marcus models were ordered for the Canadian market.

....I think these random and useless facts are significant from a historical standpoint....Harry supplies this information for free.....Keepers of historical information on other marques don't.....you could generate a nice revenue stream, Harry.

Is there any significance to combinations of the numbers 1,2,6, and 9?

only 9,261 had all-leather steering wheels
2,961 Thunderbirds were built for Canada.

None except that those are the only four number keys left on my keyboard...
(BTW, good observation!)

G'morning Bill,

2,961 Thunderbirds were built for Canada. Only the 738 2002s had painted wheels - all were 21 spokes. The rest of the Canadian Tbirds had 7 or 21 spoke chrome wheels, or 16 spoke machined wheels, just like the USA units.



Not sure what happened on the query I made upon the database on the above statement, or what I was thinking, but yes, there were 2,961 Canadian Thunderbirds. Of that, 2,544 were 2002s and ALL had the 21 spoke painted wheels. The remaining 417 units (2003-2005 Thunderbirds) had 7 spoke chrome wheels or 16 spoke machined wheels with the exception of 55 007s that had 21 spoke chrome wheels.

Harry

G'morning. How many Birds were shipped to Canada? What were the wheel options? I have it in my mind that '02-'03 were the 21 spoke painted only???!!!

No problem...that will make it easier to replace to OEM. I brain fart all the time, you're allowed too.

Here's one for you Harry: When you gave me my build info you said my 2005 Cashmere came with 7 spoke chrome wheels. I thought all the Cashmeres came with 16 spoke machined wheels. Was the 7 spoke a special order and do we know how many Cashmeres had them? Unfortunately when I got my car the stock wheels had been changed and I can't afford to replace them with what it came with. Thanks.

If I told you yours had 7 spoke chrome wheels I musta had a brain fart and was auto-answering. All the Cashmeres were built with the 16 spoke machined wheels. Sorry

....Love this information!.....all very unique, from a very unique source....thanks Harry and don't ever stop! .....and Martin....If my memory serves 3y100027 was at the Glen, I remember checking.....27 seems to jog the memory....

Much appreciated, I can now add a VIN to a picture. (more random useless facts). btw, the person standing with the Bird, Roy Hayward passed away a number of months ago. Not sure if you met him at the Glen / ITC meet.
