Name That Shifter

1989 Ford Thunderbird SC

Shifter No 156On Monday, we presented this week’s shifter and asked you to identify the make and model of the vehicle whence it came. While many of you thought the car was a Mazda, commenter eunos (speaking of Mazda) correctly identified it as a Ford Thunderbird S/C, although the shifter shown is from an ’89, not a ’93 as he guessed. But we call that close enough, and eunos will receive a Save the Manuals button and sticker as a reward.

The Thunderbird photos you see here are from Ford’s press materials, but we were able to sample a similar car in our July 1988 issue. The 10th-gen T-bird featured a more aerodynamic body and was one of the only rear-wheel drive domestic cars available at the time.
