Good spot!
extracts soap-box
I always found the hearse-style embellishment on the rear rather odd. Those late 60s 5th Generation T-birds are really odd from a design standpoint. They transitioned the wonderfully streamline looking 4rd Generation cars into the awful and boxy era of the 70s.
They don't straddle that line well - they are neither fish nor fowl for me. They also mark a decline in overall Ford design that still persists.
steps down from soap-box
Saw this 1968 Ford Thunderbird, love the styling of the rear lights, pure sci-fi rocket booster.
Thelma and Louise agreed as it was the convertible version of this they tried to jump over that canyon Evel Knievel style.
