Thunderbird comes in two trim levels: Deluxe convertible ($35,390) and Premium convertible ($36,390).
A hardtop is available with the trademark porthole. However, the hardtop must be ordered when ordering the car. The hardtop is not easy to remove or install even with two people, so you might consider skipping the expense ($2500) and the storage issues.
Three options are available for the Thunderbird: a Black Accent Package ($295) featuring high-gloss black accents on the steering wheel and shifter); the Partial Color Accent Package ($595) with color inserts in the seats, steering wheel, and shifter; and the Full Color Accent Package ($800), which adds color accents to the lower instrument panel, center console and door trim panels.
