Year to Year Changes
2003 Ford Thunderbird:
More horsepower marked the sophomore edition of Ford's revived Thunderbird. The 3.9-liter V8 gained 28 horsepower, now rated at 280. Once again, the sole transmission was a five-speed automatic; but for 2003, it was available with an extra-cost manual-shift feature. The Thunderbird's instrument cluster also was revised this year. Deluxe and Premium trim levels were offered, the Premium distinguished by standard heated seats and chrome alloy wheels.
2004 Ford Thunderbird:
Revisions were minor for 2004. A new Light Sand interior trim package was available, wheels were restyled, and a universal garage-door opener became standard.
2005 Ford Thunderbird:
A 50th Anniversary model joins Ford's 2-seat convertible line for 2005. Added midyear, the 50th Anniversary model gets unique trim, a standard removable hardtop, and a manual-shift feature. The Thunderbird is scheduled to be discontinued after 2005.
