1955 Ford - Thunderbird

Product Details

We are pleased to offer this 1955 Ford Thunderbird Convertible for purchase. The Thunderbird was a rushed development in response to the Corvette, but then ended up as a personal luxury roadster instead. The first year (1955) Thunderbird was a tremendous success selling 16,155 cars compared to just 700 Corvette's sold. The Thunderbirds were marketed towards their features rather than performance despite having a 292 cu in V8. The 1955 to 1957 years were just 2-seaters and remained that way until 2002 (which were modeled after the 1st generation Thunderbirds whom many believe are the pinnacle of the line). This Thunderbird is a hard top convertible with power windows and power seats. The dash also features a clock and a tachometer. The current owners have maintained this vehicle for the last ten years, and have only driven in good weather. The car originally came from Oklahoma. The numbers matching engine was overhauled in 2004, and the car has new whitewall tires. The interior & exterior is in excellent condition. This is 1950's style that never goes out of style!
