Coral Color Availability

[65TBSteve]

Knowing that the yellow and blue will only be available for the 2002 model year, does anyone know what new colors will be offered for 2003? I hope that coral, i.e.Sunset Coral or Samoan Coral from previous 'Birds will be offered.

Here's my theory on new Thunderbird colors: In 1955 there were 5 colors. They were (generically) red, white, black, blue and yellow. Sound like 2002??

Project the 1956 colors into 2003 you would have red, white, black, tan, blue, yellow, tan, gray, green and (yes) coral.

Good theory, but they've already announced the blue and yellow will be discontinued after the current model year. Then again, considering the reliability of their announcements...

Good news, coral fans:

From the San Jose Mercury News on June 1:

"Ford is working on getting the paint right for a coral-color version and might even do a bright pink one day."
