If I remember correctly they did call them sunroofs many years ago when they first started showing up on cars. Or........ maybe I am thinking of the 53 & 54 Ford Sunliners LOLRon Quote Selected
Need data on 88 Sport Coupes Reply #20 – December 20, 2012, 09:55:50 PM Quote from: BLKBRD88;404991I found this online today1988 Thunderbird production percentagesV6 46.3%V8 28.4%TC 25.3%Manual Trans 15.4%Sunroofs 12.9%If correct, then slightly over one out of four Base, LX, Sport Coupes were V8s.28.4% of 109,991=31,237 total V8s. I am sure that many of the 31,237 V8s were in Base or LX models. That should leave the Sport Coupes down in the 20K or less area, as you say.RonPS Thunderbird Registry has 236 "88" LX & Base cars registered compared to 71 Sport Coupes registered = more than 3/1 ratio. The 87s were 209 to 36 almost 6/1 ratioNot that these figures are anything conclusive, but may give us some idea. Nothing against your figures but what's surprising is the "known" ratio of engines, trans, even sun.. err Moonroof there were... I've always heard Ford has no record of such and not having a known production figure for three models would tend to prove my doubts... When Kevin Marti has reports avail for these models, then we'll know for sure... Quote Selected

When Kevin Marti has reports avail for these models, then we'll know for sure...No problem on the figures, since they aren't mine, just something that I found floating in cyberspace on the big old World Wide Web. A very good friend of mine always said "in the absence of revelation, there is always lots of room for speculation" You are correct when the Marti reports on these are available, then we will know for sure.Ron Quote Selected

Need data on 88 Sport Coupes Reply #23 – January 20, 2013, 12:07:02 AM Yep a Sport is a Sport Coupe. I myself think the coupe got added somewhere along the lines because the turbo coupes had coupe at in there name. And it just kind of stuck. Quote Selected

I would say yes to that, and furthermore i would say a Auto Transmission TC with Sunroof/Moonroof would be among the rarest combos. Rare doesn't equal desireable always, but lower numbers for sure.
