Vehicle Description
The Ford Thunderbird hit the market in 1955 in was a direct
response to the Chevrolet Corvette. While the Corvette aimed to
impress with performance, the T-bird was all about style and
substance. Dubbed the first "personal car" by Ford, it was
described as a direct descendant of the bespoke 1930s roadsters and
was aimed as a brisk grand tourer. It was light for its era and the
powerful V8 could propel it to around 120 mph. The 1955 model
featured the proven 292cid Y-block V8 and had bumper mounted
exhausts and a trunk mounted spare tire.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this lovely 1955 Thunderbird
for your consideration. Finished in what appears to be a custom
shade of metallic blue, this Thunderbird is very nice overall. The
exterior is in very nice condition, with great paint and excellent
chrome. The car rides on wire wheels with white wall tires and
features the factory hardtop. The interior is finished in two tone
black and white, with a nice dashboard and clean bench seats. The
interior features a newer custom radio and the original steering
wheel. Other features include power seats, power brakes, and vinyl
seating.
Featuring a smooth running 292cid Y-Block V8 engine mated to an
automatic transmission, this lovely T-bird puts a smile on
everyone's face and is sure to go up in value as a true American
classic.
