The 1967 Thunderbird was a bigger car that moved closer to Lincoln, emphasizing the luxury half of personal luxury car. Ford gave up unibody construction for body on frame with rubber mounts to reduce noise and vibration. The convertible, a slow seller, was dropped in favor of a four door model stretched by 2.5 inches with rear hinged suicide doors like the Lincoln Continental. A gaping fishmouth grille with hidden headlights was the most obvious feature of its radical shape.
