I RECENTLY HEARD the startling news that after four decades Ford is manufacturing a new model of Thunderbird that has porthole windows! The station wagon had only four ashtrays, a suitable number for a family of two adults and three small children. Then he bought a sensible Chevrolet station wagon with no gizmos, unusual gauges, places for drinks or little round windows. I imagine that he looked around sadly, kicked a few tires meanly, mumbled under his breath something about life being unfair. My father took the Thunderbird down to the used-car dealer where he had bought it with such buoyant optimism several months earlier.

My parents tried to avoid these confrontations with reasoning, bribing and threatening, but nothing worked. The arguments would escalate into small wars, and more than once my brother Danny would sneak into the car an hour early just so he'd have a porthole window seat for a drive that might take less than five minutes. Long before we were dressed and outside, my brothers and I would quarrel about who would mount the mysterious middle lump in the back seat.

Getting into and out of the two-door Thunderbird as often as eight times a day took a toll on our family. No trip was too short not to take the T-Bird. We got into the car to drive to the A&P, the cleaners, the barber, to church and to Grandmom's house. Daddy went to the golf course and Shorty's Tavern. Mom drove us to school, swimming lessons and baseball practice. It was the quirk that finally brought about the Thunderbird's demise. It was the most annoying characteristic of a car that had many perplexing features. The unlucky third child caught in the middle had to straddle this uncomfortable lump in order to avoid sitting on his or her sibling's lap. Something significant and important to the car rose between the two back seats.

The windows did not go up or down, and because of their odd shape they were difficult to see out of, especially for a 5-year-old trapped inside. In back were two smaller bucket seats framed by minuscule oval windows. They glowed a greenish yellow in the dark, like the instrument panel on a rocket ship. The dashboard was maroon, and all the switches were round. These were equipped with spring- latched metal covers so that ashes would not fly around as one sped to the country club, the beach or the nearby liquor store.

There were six locations in which to put cigarette butts. Round depressions built into the inside front doors were available for glasses, should one wish to enjoy a highball on the way to the A&P.

The gearshift was between those lounge lizard-like spots. Up front it had dark-red-leather sunken bucket seats. My dad traded in a practical Woody station wagon for an automobile that was too small for his family of five.
