Got it from a friend who got it from a friend, along with some other car things.  He thought I might be interested, otherwise it was going on ebay. 

Now I need a (replacement) for the brochure that I threw away  :slap:

Uh... neither.  I'm willing to bet there are fewer than five people on this forum who've actually seen what I'm talking about.

For the 1986 model year, Ford commissioned a number of artists to do something artsy-fartsy with their line of cars, which Ford produced as a brochure and mailed to customers.  The brochure had pictures of an Eddie Bauer edition Explorer, an EXP, a Taurus (maybe SHO, don't remember), and a few others.  The picture for the Thunderbird used a Turbo Coupe and was based on Nighthawks.  If you can imagine the scene extended to the left with a black TC parked at the curb, you've got the idea of what it looked like.

If anyone has access to one of those brochures, please send me a PM.

I've never seen one.  Sounds cool.  I'll check with the literature vendors this summer.
