We will focus our attention on the four early generations in this article as they are of the most interest to collectors. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on if you cringed at the aforementioned nicknames) subsequent generations have not spawned universally accepted nicknames. The second generation spanned 1958 to 1960 and were dubbed the “Squarebird”. The first generation began in 1955 and ran up until and including the 1957. To those in the know and especially the legions of fans and owners of the different years there are nicknames to differentiate different body styles. One of the pioneers of the “personal luxury car,” the T-Bird, as it is commonly called, still sets standards for others to follow. Ford Thunderbirds… for 50 years the bodies may have changed, but the idea and the name has remained faithful to the original.
