RE: TBird Audio Records from 1958 - Want Copies?
The engineers designing the new 1958 Thunderbird wanted to give it disc brakes, but Robert McNamara nixed it. He forced the engineers to use the same brakes as the full-sized Ford to cut costs. Due to cost cutting moves like this the Thunderbird actually earned money for Ford instead of losing money like the previous series did.
