Yat Ming Ford Thunderbird (#1008)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that this model represents a '74 Thunderbird. It was a promotional give-away for a leasing company that I snagged at a recent die-cast show.
Not a fan of the brown, but I do like the model. Just wish that the window tint wasn't so pronounced.

I believe this casting is most likely representing a 1972 Thunderbird, as the bumpers are more tailored into the sheetmetal. The 1973-76 T-Birds had huge bumpers that stuck out several inches from the car.

I always loved this casting- seemed like such an unlikely candidate to be made as a diecast car, especially in the 80's!

I have this car in my collection. I also have the plain Blue version. I bought them within the last few years.
I had them originally when I was a kid, they were my "FBI" cars. I used to watch that show as a kid with my father and always saw them drive Thunderbirds. What can I say, I was 10. Kids played with cars a lot longer back then.
