The Ford Thunderbird was Ford's answer to the Chevrolet Corvette with a heavy emphasis on personal luxury and comfort. These 2-seater sports cars were an instant hit with the consumer market and it is easy to see why with their more luxurious interiors, sporty styling and powerful V8 engines. This 1955 Ford Thunderbird is a beautiful example of the first year model for the Ford Thunderbird and benefits from an older restoration that still presents very well. The Bright Yellow exterior is in very good condition with few defects to note and is complimented nicely by its factory chrome and stainless trim, and a period-correct set of Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels wrapped in wide white wall tires. This gorgeous Thunderbird is a 2-top car and comes with its very nice Bright Yellow hardtop and Black canvas folding soft-top. This Thunderbird's Black and Yellow vinyl interior is in very good condition as well with minimal age present. This great Thunderbird is a factory 292 cubic inch V8 car and is currently powered by a replacement 292 cubic inch V8 (date code: 1959-1960). Transferring the power to the rear end is the Thunderbirds Ford-o-matic 3-speed automatic transmission. Both the engine and transmission perform just as they should with no issue. This Ford Thunderbird is nicely equipped with features such as: heater/defrost, in-dash tachometer, power seat (in-op), AM radio (in-op), and variable speed wipers. If you are in the market for a classic 2-seater roadster or first generation Thunderbird that is turn-key ready to cruise down to your local car show/cruise-in, then you will want to take a very close look at this striking 1955 Ford Thunderbird.
