Fox T-Bird/Cougar Forums  

I guess owning mine for 11 years isn't that long. It was the first car I ever bought. I was 17 at the time.

That's awesome! My Dad has a 67 Fairlane too. It's a 500 with a 289, it's frost tourquise.

I can't believe I've owned my red cougar for 9 years, and known it for 15 (dad bought it in 1998). So many good times, and many more to come...

I've had my Bird nearly 18 yrs now.






longest relationship ever :evilgrin: lol

It's a great car in and of itself, but just as influential are all of the stories from people at car shows, or people in general who miss their old vehicle. The regret you see and hear is just poignant. The message is clear: As soon as you even think about selling it, slap yourself in the face about 50 times. And then be sure not to forget to not sell it. I also want to be able to stand there and say I've owned it for 30+ years just like you are, proud that I kept it clean and dry all those years and preserved it from the perils every other car out there has to deal with.

  Lots of people can't believe it's old enough to have antique plates on it either!  ;)

I've gotten a bunch of "WTF?" looks since I've been driving the Thunderbird around this year with antique plates. I think people don't realize how old it is. I get many more looks and thumbs up than I used to as well, thanks to the antique plates. These cars are old but they don't look old like a GM G-body coupe does.
