The Thunderbird was chosen mostly as a matter of practicality. Convertibles are popular for shows and movies because it's easy to shoot the actors, and while the Thunderbird has the classic cruising aura perfect for a road trip, it also has a back seat, allowing Thelma and Louise to travel with other characters like J.D, the thief.. The 1991 movie "Thelma & Louise" features a car that steals the show alongside Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon. This turquoise Ford Thunderbird isn't just a pretty ride, it becomes a symbol of rebellion and freedom. Scroll down and find out the story behind the Ford Thunderbird in "Thelma & Louise" and see why this car is more than meets the eye!
