Since Ford isn't doing much to help us "manage the wait" I thought prospective owners might be interested in a couple new memoribilia items available in amazon.com. The first is the paperback edition of Michael Lamm's 2002 Thunderbird book. It features a short history of of the design process for the new roadster and material pertaining to classic 50's birds. There is also a 2002 Thunderbird wall calendar by Dan Lyons who publishes special special interest posters and calendars for other noteworthy models.
