For Sale: 1955 Ford Thunderbird in O'Fallon, Illinois

Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is thrilled to offer this stunning 1955 Ford Thunderbird that is very much original 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. This Thunderbird for sale is powered by a legendary 292 cubic inch Y-Block V8 and is accompanied by an automatic transmission. The red and white interior looks gorgeous giving the interior the look it had 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 or road trip! This 1955 Ford Thunderbird can be seen in great detail including 100+ HD Pictures and an HD video at gatewayclassiccars.com.
