2002 Thunderbird ‘Manage The Wait’ Promo Set- Incredibly Rare.
Shortly after the introduction of the 2002 Ford Thunderbird, and for early buyers who placed deposits on them, Ford created a special promotional set know as the ‘Manage the Wait’ set. The promotion was produced both to remind early buyers of the excitement on this new, 11th generation Thunderbird, and to ease the long waiting period from the initial announcement and actual production and delivery of the car. The package consisted of five individual boxes, each containing a different promotional item. Contents of this package included books, photos, decals, die cast models of the new Thunderbird, stainless steel ‘porthole’ style bookends, and for buyers of the Neiman-Marcus Special Edition Thunderbird, a cashmere scarf and black leather driving gloves. The complete set, when lined up together, created a stylized Thunderbird ‘Wings’ logo. We have a very limited number of these complete promotional kits in near-mint condition which feature the ‘Torch Red,” “Evening Black,” or ‘Inspiration Yellow’ 1/25th die cast Thunderbird model. These kits have become nearly impossible find in mint, unopened condition.
These sets are already highly collectible and are certain to increase in value over the coming years. Please note the Die Cast models are random and based on availability.
