Fantastic 1955 Ford Thunderbird. The first-generation Thunderbird was produced from 1955-57, but the brand remained in production to 1997, then re-introduced from 2002 to 2005 creating 11 distinct generations. Ford positioned the Thunderbird as an upscale model and it was credited in developing a new market segment, the personal luxury car.
The Ford Thunderbird was introduced in February 1953 as a response to Chevrolet’s new sports car, the Corvette. But unlike the Corvette, it was not marketed as a sports car. Though sharing some design characteristics with other Fords of the time, such as single, circular headlamps and tail lamps and modest tailfins, the Thunderbird was sleeker in shape and featured a hood scoop and a 150 mph speedometer not available on other Fords. It was a two-seat design available with a detachable glass-fiber hardtop and a folding fabric top (both included here).
This 1955 Ford Thunderbird looks stunning finished in Thunderbird Blue (Turquoise, code “T”) over Turquoise/ White (code “C”) interior. The fender skirts sitting over the wide whitewall tires is Americana at its finest. The interior is just amazing with crank window lifts, operational soft and hard top, Astra-Dial full instrumentation panel, telescopic Lifeguard steering wheel, factory tachometer, directional signals, Magicare heating/ defrost system, and RetroSound AM/FM radio.
Under the hood sits a super-sanitary 292c.i. V8 with an upgraded carb. It also has a new upgraded electronic fuel pump for reliability. The engine is backed by a smooth manual transmission. This car has been meticulously owned and is a consistent show winner in the Atlanta, GA area, now available for sale. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a splendid piece of automotive history.

What is that wire going to shifter. Thanks jim
Hello Jim, thank you for your comment. That is not a wire, rather a string that is coming from the black leather housing of the shifter. It is made of twine, and not electrical in any way. If you have any additional questions or would like any additional photos or videos, I am happy to take those for you and answer any questions to the best of my ability. Please give me a call if you would like at (770) 738-7111 or I am happy to Facetime you in order for you to take a closer look. Thank you
