The boxy birds and Cougar's are an acquired taste, but for those of us that have one it grows on you.
I have a 1980 Thunderbird, that I have extensively modified over the last 15 years, into what I think Ford should have done with the boxy birds from the factory. Well...actually its a work in progress and never really finished.

How many of you own them? I didn't really see a thread for the 80-82 and thought I would start one.
