The Automobile, September 2007 The Thunderbird was Ford's personal two-seater answer to the more overtly sporting Corvette launched a year earlier in January, 1953. While the GM product had started life with a straight-six, the T-bird came in with a V-8, to which Chevrolet responded the following model year with the small-block V-8. Both set out to knock the British sporting imports. Despite the fact that this has been written in Japan, where Brian Long has lived for many years, such are the wonders of modern communication that it could well have been compiled in Detroit, so complete is the information. It is fully illustrated with drawings, photographs and brochures model year by year from conception in October 1952, to the 12th generation at the end of 1997. Retro appeal brought the name back for the short-lived 13th generation from 2002-05, bringing the combined total to just over 4.4 million units in 47 production years. Its most popular model, averaging 319,000 a year, was the 8th generation of MY1977-79, when the car lost weight and departed from the short-wheelbase Lincoln appearance it had gradually acquired. Prior to that, production had averaged 60,000 or so, small beer in Detroit terms but relatively exclusive. Perhaps surprisingly, the annual numbers weren't affected by the arrival of the Mustang, which, to European eyes, was a fairly similar car, but in America it was half the T-bird's price, and not exclusive. The author manages to present year-on-year changes without reading like a series of brochure updates by justifying the improvements with engineering reasons and enough comparisons with market rivals to keep it interesting to more than just T-bird lovers. You get to know what Ford was doing with its other models, too., American Car World, October 2007, UK magazine If you've ever wanted to read a definitive guide to Ford's sportscar of over 50 years, this is it. At first the price might be off-putting, but when you start to flick through the pages you can appreciate why it is set so high, and how much of a bargain that really is when you consider the material within the 256 pages. Author Brian Long is a motoring historian and has written nearly 40 books, and his authority shows throughout the book. Brian was given full co-operation from the Ford Motor Company and his T-bird book could be considered a bible, being the only book you'd probably need on the subject. The book has year-by-year coverage of production models, with special variants also covered, some 500 pictures, most of which are color and include some fascinating rare prototype shots. In addition to the photographs, advertising and brochures have been used throughout, to further enhance the nostalgic appeal of the book. There's even a full listing of production figures. This really is everything an enthusiast would want to know in one book. American Car World rating: 5 stars, Classic & Sports Car, July 2007 by Alastair Clements An opening chapter that presents a well-judged brief history of Ford until the T-'bird's 1954 debut makes the perfect scene-setter for Long's latest. As the glossy cover suggests, the design of this hardback is a cut above the Veloce norm. We liked the Route 66-style chapter headers and there are a wealth of period photos, plus wonderful sales literature, though some spreads are rather text-heavy. Long has pulled interesting asides out into panels and there's an appendix of production numbers at the end. Long's words are authoritative without being dry did you know Fangio had the first Argentinean car, or that early clays wore 'Fairlane' badging? as he leads you from the birth of the T-'bird through the fallow years to its revival with the 13th generation in 1999. Not cheap, and disappointing to find that even in a pound;40 effort you get cheapo ads for other Veloce books, but an exhaustive introduction., Octane magazine, September 2007 UK magazine Packed with period brochure artwork and advert, this substantial hardback covers the whole Thunderbird era, from the pretty two-seater of the mid-'50s through the bloated barges of the 1970s to the retro-styled soft-top of the early 21st century. There are detailed specs for each model year and a good, solid text, but it's the colorful visuals, charting half-a-century's changing taste, that carry you along., New Zealand Classic Car, September 2007 - New Zealand magazine Surely one of the most attractive US cars since WWII is the original 2-seater Ford Thunderbird, produced from 1954 to '57. The car immortalized in 'American Graffiti'. Over four million Thunderbirds were sold in total and reading about the various versions in this excellent book is almost like a tour through US car styling of the past 40 years. Thunderbirds won Car of the Year awards a few times, many of the models were well written-up by US magazines, and the racing versions did well in NASCAR for a good few seasons. This is the most comprehensive book, with hundreds of photos and lots of reprinted brochures (including some fascinating ones from Japan where the author now lives). Long also fits each year's Thunderbird into US auto market developments at the time. If you have or want to own or restore a 'Bird, there's every detail change for each year including paint and upholstery colors. Well written and well illustrated, this is how a model 'autobiography' should be presented., New Zealand Classic Car, September 2007-New Zealandmagazine Surely one of the most attractive US cars since WWII is the original 2-seater Ford Thunderbird, produced from 1954 to '57.
