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.
