Covers the Concept Thunderbird Diecast issued during 1999 & 2000. |
During 2000, the release time for the actual car was announced, so switched to call later diecasts, 2002, starting with the Neiman Marcus Edition. Molds also changed slightly. Concept models are recognized by lack of center brake light and side marker lights If you know of any others released this year, please
email
me so I may add them to this list.
