The story
Ford will produce 700 of the James Bond edition Thunderbird vehicles in 2003. The James Bond edition Thunderbirds will feature a white-trimmed steering wheel, shift knob and lower door panels. The white perforated leather seat inserts will be surrounded by black leather. Understated 007 badges are found on the instrument panel and floor mats, while the Thunderbird insignias are located on the seat backs. Side-by-side Thunderbird and 007 badges appear on the interior aluminum applique.
In 2000, Ford offered 200 special edition Thunderbird vehicles for sale through the exclusive Neiman Marcus Christmas Book. Those 200 cars, the most ever offered through Neiman Marcus, sold out in a record 2 hours and 15 minutes and are considered highly prized collectors items.
The Ford Thunderbird epitomizes the 'agent provocateur' personality - it is incredibly beautiful, alluring yet clever and tech-savvy, said Valentic. The James Bond edition Thunderbird keeps a hot car sizzling.
Ford will announce pricing for the special edition Thunderbirds later in the year. — SuperFord.org Staff
