This 1955 Ford Thunderbird has a formal color combo, proper V8
power, and desirable features - including both hard and soft tops.
So this is the true cruiser with a carefully crafted level of
cool.
White looks great on a first-generation Thunderbird. After all,
it's a timelessly attractive color, and the first-year T-bird is a
rolling icon with tiles appeal. It's easy to call this a
cruiser-ready finish. What that means is it has a nice gloss that
will radiate for the early morning cars and coffee, and it will
look great under the neon at the local cruise-in. So it's not a
trailer queen and has the right style to be a good driver (that's
why there is even brand new fuel pump and water pump.) The while
looks great coordinating with the whitewall tires and detestable
hardtop for a very elegant total style. Or you can put up the
well-fitting black folding soft top and have the same kind of
formal appeal as a white coat tuxedo. More than attractive color
options, it has all the iconic pieces that you love, like the hood
scoop, sporty side louvers, fender skirts, jet-inspired tailfins,
and detailed wire wheel covers. And those dual exhaust tips are on
display in one of the coolest ways ever from the 1950s.
And when you decide to enjoy this with no top at all, you still get
the same black and white appeal. You'll appreciate the fundamentals
in this one. The seats, carpet, and dash have a clean and complete
look. Even the dash courtesy light is working. There are great
premium cruisers with details like the artful steering wheel and
clear Plexiglas speedometer. Plus, the working tach is great to
have with the floor shifter.
Under the hood is a correct-style 292 cubic inch V8 block. It has
the bright chrome air cleaner and detailed Thunderbird valve covers
that really set the look apart. And if you dig a little deeper, you
can also see an updated Holley four-barrel carburetor and an
updated intake (the stock units can be made available with the
sale.) Not only do you have recent investments in the fuel pump and
water pump (for around $850) but you can also see from the clean
undercarriage that the dual exhaust is also newer. And you get to
take full control of this V8 cruiser with the three-speed manual
transmission.
Formal style meets fun cruising in this first-year Thunderbird.
