I used to hate them about 20 years ago, now I'd have to say they're unique, have style, and seem like a glamerous ride, but I'm a rag top fan when it comes to this one!"

I've got a 65 hardtop in the shop right now.Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

Actualy I liked all of the T-Birds up to 1967. The 1968 thru 1979 went from ugly to uglier to ugliest. Huge boxes some with 4 doors.
Other than the early years, I always liked the 59 Birds especially the ragtops. The early sixties were nice looking cars and again especially the rag tops.

Used to be a 61 in my neighborhood that was running and all there. Haven't seen it in a while. Hmmm? The 61-66s are still around but not real popular.There is no substitute for cubic inches

Hmmmmm.......I won't be able to make an opinion till I get more info. Could you post up a bunch more shots of your "wife" who is standing in front of the Olds?
Well, I like these T Birds a lot. I think they are classy and sporty at the same time. My vote goes for buying it.

While I'm known as "The Bowtie Bigot", I really like the looks of this style Thunderbird ........... along with the "55-"57's, they really showed some classic lines

generally I don't care for them, but the first pic that breeder has there (without his wife) I really think looks sleek, and retro-futuristic if you get my drift, like the Jetson's version of what vehicles of the future would be.

Since you asked......I've just never been a fan them really......so my knee jerk reaction is to say maybe I just have bad taste too.
If it were me, I'd try to find some other car for the wife to fall in love with. But that's just me. Other people love them and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
My wife is in love with '66 - '67 Chevelles. I don't particularly mind them, in fact I kind of like them too; but, I wish I could get her to fall in love with a '66 or '67 GTO instead. In the end though, I may have to find a Chevelle for our next one.
Cheers,
