Of course hindsight is 20/20 but it’s hard not to second guess this move by Ford, over succeeding generations the Thunderbird seemed to get fatter and heavier while the Corvette became faster and more capable.

Chevrolet developed the Corvette into more of and out-and-out sports car whereas Ford changed the layout of the Thunderbird to a heavier 4-door design, essentially crippling its sporting credentials and moving it out of the market segment that it was dominating. It’s interesting to look at the direction that Ford and Chevrolet took with their sports convertibles after the first generation.
