Vehicle Description
1955 Ford Thunderbird with Factory Hardtop and Power SeatThis 1955
Ford Thunderbird is an excellent original example for complete
restoration. Red with black interior. Factory hardtop and power
seat. A great car with a lot of potential. P-Code car with the
312cid V8 engine and automatic transmission. Just out of long term
ownership. A highly collectible year for the Iconic T-Bird and a
superb value.Conceived to challenge Chevrolet's Corvette sports
car, the classic Thunderbird convertible debuted in October 1954
for the 1955 model year and was one of the first models produced
with Ford's new overhead-valve V8 engine. Introduced in two-seat
'personal car' form, the Thunderbird was intended to appeal to
image-conscious younger customers, beating the Corvette hands down
in the sales war thanks to its superior V8 engine and greater
refinement. Today the 1955-'57 Thunderbirds are among the most
desirable and sought after of post-war American automobiles.
