1955 Ford Thunderbird

1955 Ford Thunderbird with Factory Hardtop and Power SeatThis 1955 Ford Thunderbird is an excellent original example for complete restoration. Red with black interior. Factory hardtop and power seat. A great car with a lot of potential. P-Code car with the 312cid V8 engine and automatic transmission. Just out of long term ownership. A highly collectible year for the Iconic T-Bird and a superb value.Conceived to challenge Chevrolet's Corvette sports car, the classic Thunderbird convertible debuted in October 1954 for the 1955 model year and was one of the first models produced with Ford's new overhead-valve V8 engine. Introduced in two-seat 'personal car' form, the Thunderbird was intended to appeal to image-conscious younger customers, beating the Corvette hands down in the sales war thanks to its superior V8 engine and greater refinement. Today the 1955-'57 Thunderbirds are among the most desirable and sought after of post-war American automobiles.
