Is the new Ford Thunderbird (model year 2000 and later) an example of
postmodern automobile design?

According to: http://www.emale.co.nz/Playbetter/motoring/postmoddesign.html

"The press was all abuzz in the United States last month about the
2002 Ford Thunderbird, a car which Ford's chief designer J Mays
refuses to label as 'retro'."

The article discusses other aspects of postmodern car design as well.

From the Hearthstone Heating Products Web site:

"Some call such styles 'retro'; others rightfully acknowledge them as
a condition of postmodernism. Often we like to reflect back to the
classic period of an 'art.' In the 1980s postmodern architecture
became widely recognized for outwardly imitating classic Greek style.
Today, cars such as the P.T. Cruiser and Volkswagen Beetle are
appropriating style from the romantic period of the automobile, the
1950s and 60s."
