Ford Thunderbird 11

Product Overview
Ford Thunderbird Mk11 is a mid-size convertible in production from 2001 to 2006. It was powered by two tunes of a naturally-aspirated V8 engines that displaced 4.0 liters paired to a 5-speed automatic transmission.
A soft-top convertible, the Mk11 Thunderbird could be configured with an optional hardtop, which was the way that premium automakers did with their higher-end convertible cruisers. It was the last Ford vehicle to bear the Thunderbird nameplate and the first convertible to do so in decades.
Unfortunately, the car is a bit uninspiring, even though it has a V8 at the front and decent interior amenities. Its suspensions are quite good, as it is built on the same platform as the mid-size Jaguars at the time.
