Hi Barry,
What you saw was most likely the custom color done by Galpin Ford. They used 2002s and 2003s and did several in that color (and a few other colors). The Wixom plant manager denied ever doing custom/special colors at the plant and Galpin freely admits that they did that color on several t-birds as part of their Galpinized editions. There should be a tag on the door jamb that says it's a Galpinized car. The Dusk Rose color is actually a 1957 T-bird color.

While in San Diego on a research trip, I saw a beautiful retrobird painted in the original 1956 dust rose color. Is this a custom paint job or a special factory color? It appeared to be a 2003 or 2004. What an outstanding color combination with the black conv. top! Please advise.

Sincerely, Barry

Thank you. I appreciate your answer. (Mine came with a WW hardtop - but, I still love it anyway!)

Thunderblower, that one was without a hardtop. (sorry about not seeing your post sooner)

"Whisper White Premium, Torch Red Full Accent Interior, standard automatic, 7 Spoke Chrome wheels = 1" - does this one have a Whisper White hardtop or no hardtop?

My hubby & I both have T-Birds. I have an '03 Whisper White w/torch Red and Black interior (very sporty). He has an '05 Bronze with Tan & Black interior. And we both love them. What a joy to drive.
