Grade First Year and First Generation T-Bird! Ford's most exciting
news for 1955 was the introduction of the 2-passenger Thunderbird!
The new V-8 powered bird was introduced as a sporty competitor to
the Vet, but included a full line of luxury options and based on a
full-sized Ford. The first year Ford exceeded its projected sales
for the T-bird with 16,155 produced. Introductory retail price was
$2,695, just $5 less than the 1955 Corvette. Over 5,000 names were
considered for the all new Thunderbird, including Hep Cat, Beaver,
Runabout and El Tigre. Alden Giberson, a Ford stylist submitted the
name Thunderbird based on the legend from the Southwest. The first
Thunderbird rolled off the line on September 9, 1954 and was
announced as the new sports car by Ford on September 23 and went on
sale on October 22nd of the same year.The public responded well to
the Thunderbird by placing more than 3,500 orders in the first
10-day selling period. The media responded as well, Motor Trend
named the Thunderbird as one of the six best looking cars of 1955
