It seems like only yesterday that I was in the Grant Ford showroom in St. Petersburg, Florida, buying a new '85 Thunderbird. To lure then-young buyers like me, there were new Mustang GT hatchbacks and convertibles with 5.0L High Output engines on the showroom floor. Because I needed more room, I bought a Thunderbird instead. However, I never forgot those Mustangs with their soft duotone interiors with bolstered bucket seats and bold color piping.
