Bold New Bird - The all new 1983 Ford Thunderbird is a high technology car wrapped in a dramatic new envelope. The Thunderbird is an exciting move - a dramatic alternative to the boxy, formal styling offered by our domestic competitos, said Louis E. Lataif, Ford Vice President and Ford Division General Manager. The new car styling, disticntive and beautifully functional, will solidify our lead in the application of aerodynamics to car design. The Thunderbirds's efficient of air drag is .35 - lowest of any domestic competitor in its class. Aerodynamic design features include concealed drip moldings. slooping hood, tapered fenders and quarter panels, shaply raked windshields and backlite, contoured parking lamps and an integrated decklid spoiler. Thunderbird electric remote control outside mirrors; a rear view mirror that automatically dims when it picks up overtaking headlights; pivoting front-vent windows; a keyless entry system; articulated seats; clearcoat metallic paints; a remote-locking fuel filler door; a Tripminder computer; voice alert system; a new generation of electronic radios with a number of new state of the art features, and even a canvas wrapped emergency kit.
