It looked much more like a '54 Corvette than a '56 T-Bird.    Ford 
unwittingly copied their competition's ancient history.    Then they 
priced the damned thing into the stratosphere.

It came off as Miata competition, only without the handling or 
performance or affordable price.

Nope.   It actually wasn't much of anything good, just a collection 
of sorta-ok, but...
