#ThrowbackThursday – 1984 Olympic Summer Games: Shadowing the torch relay were 1984 Buick Riviera convertibles and several 1985 Buick Electras. A total of three turbocharged Riviera convertibles followed the Olympic flame from the UN Headquarters in New York City on a 9,300-mile lap around the U.S., starting on May 8 and ending on July 28. At the time, this was the longest torch relay in Olympic history.

#FridayFacts – The Ford Thunderbird was very successful in its debut year in 1955. It was designed as a stylish personal luxury car, which appealed to a broader market compared to the Chevrolet Corvette, which was positioned as a sportier, performance-oriented vehicle. The Thunderbird`s sales figures in 1955, with 16,155 units sold, significantly surpassed those of the Corvette, of which only 700 units were sold in the same year. This early success cemented the Thunderbird`s place in automotive history and set the stage for its continued popularity and evolution in the years to come.
