While we wouldn’t call the model forgotten, some people don’t even know that the Ford Thunderbird made it out of the 20th Century. They may be aware of the 1990s model, with a modular V8 (the same powerplant you’d find in the Ford Mustang GT around this time) and supercharged V6 engines, but the retro-styled 11th-generation model is a bit of an oddity. Ford produced 31,368 units in 2002, then half that many in 2003, finally producing just 9,295 in 2005, for fewer than 70,000 units total.
