It remained the only two-seat convertible Thunderbird until the eleventh-generation was unveiled in 2002. While light weight for its era and fitted with a standard V8 engine, the Thunderbird focused more on driver comfort than speed, and was not a direct rival to either the Corvette or European sports cars. The car built upon the heritage of the bespoke roadsters of the 1930s, yet was constructed largely of existing components, marking the first step toward the evolution of the personal luxury car as a mass market segment in the United States. Dubbed a 'a personal car of distinction' by Ford, this appellation was also used by the motoring press at the time. The Corvette in turn was developed in response to the popularity of European sports cars among Americans. It was developed in response to the 1953 Motorama display at the New York Auto Show, which showed the Chevrolet Corvette.
