Now featured in our Denver showroom, a stunning 1955 Ford
Thunderbird that is very much original with modern changes making
it a great driver's car! The Thunderbird was Henry Ford's response
to the Chevrolet Corvette, and was revealed at the Detroit Auto
Show on February 20, 1954. No one could have predicted the success
the Thunderbird would have. The Thunderbird's first year of
production literally outsold the Corvette more than 23 to 1. Though
it was sleek and sporty, the Thunderbird was not considered a
sports car to Ford, but a "personal luxury vehicle." This Torch Red
beauty is a fine example of that first year, a great representation
of the epic Thunderbird line. With a short and stout body, lovely
curves, and a removable hard top, it's a real looker. Some of the
modern touches to this T-Bird includes the Coker wide white wall
radial tires for improved handling, 2-speed electric windshield
wipers replacing the date vacuum system, electrical system was
converted to 12-volts, and the ignition was converted to electric
as well. This Thunderbird for sale is powered by a legendary 292
cubic inch Y-Block V8 and is backed by a healthy Ford-o-matic
automatic transmission, which makes it an easy driver and a nice
cruiser for anyone and everyone. The red interior was
reupholstered, and the carpet was replaced giving the interior the
look it did coming right out of the showroom back in 1955. This fun
driving 1955 Thunderbird convertible for sale is ready to head on
down to the local cruise-in, drive-in movie, and show. This vehicle
is located in our Denver showroom. You can view this 1955 Ford
Thunderbird in greater detail including HD pictures and an HD video
of it running and driving at Gatewayclassiccars.com. If you are
