Convertible Ad.

While cleaning out my basp00get I came across a 1985 Motor Trend magazine and in the back I found this.

I'm sure some of you have seen it but I thought I'd post it anyway.

Notice it says Thunderbird convertible. Apparently, it was an option but did anyone actually buy one? Makes you think...

I'm I the only one that noticed that they said they could do it to call them. That doesn't mean that any were made. They are just letting you know they can do it.

That's an '84 Cougar convertible in that ad. I have the brochure for it...that same lady with the ultra-cool 1980's flip hairdo is in the brochure.

Coach Builders Ltd. was in Gainesville, FL. I had heard somewhere that they either moved or got absorbed into another company. Isn't the 937 area code where Gainesville is now?

It's entirely possible that aero Fox T-Bird convertibles exist. I have yet to see one though. I think for all the torture that I and other Cougar owners have put the T-Bird guys through for all these years about the Cat convertibles, finding a T-Bird one would be sweet justification for ya. ;)

Here's the company info:

1410 South Main Street
High Springs, FL 32643
Parts/Service: 386-454-2060

Looks like just the area code changed on the phone number, compared to the original 1985 ad. Nice.

So...who's calling? ;)
