1955 White Ford Thunderbird Why This Car Is Special A first-year
1955 Ford Thunderbird remains one of the most collectable '50s
cars, and it's easy to understand why. The one we have at Skyway
Classics has the V8 engine, the great color combo of white
exterior, black convertible top, and a black and white interior is
very desirable. Throw in the wire wheels and V8 power and you have
one slick restored T-Bird! Features 1955 White Ford Thunderbird

well fender flares Black convertible top Mechanical This T-Bird has
had a complete restoration on it including under the hood. It had
the P code 292 cubic inch V8 engine with 193 horsepower from the
factory and has most other parts that looks stock. It has a factory
cast iron intake, four-barrel carb, Thunderbird's special valve
covers, and what appears to be all other factory engine components,
with the addition of a chrome open element air cleaner. This motor
exhales out of the cast iron exhaust headers into the dual exhaust
and the V8 is backed with the automatic transmission with chrome
shifter and underneath is as clean, painted, and detailed as up
above. It runs and drives exceptionally well. Interior The brand
new black and white interior consisting of the white bench seat and
matching door panels was re-upholstered and looks stunning with the
dash in black with factory gauges, radio, and controls,
black/polished steering wheel, black seat belts, and the chrome
floor shifter. The restored interior has the look that it did
coming right out of the showroom back in 1955. Exterior There are
no other 1955 Thunderbirds that are more desirable than this white
over black T-Bird. The chrome really sets the Thunderbird apart as
does the wraparound front bumper, wide mesh grille, subtle hood
scoop, and the twin tailpipes integrated through the rear bumper
guards. It has chrome spoke wheels and raised white letter Cooper
Cobra Radial GT tires and they look good with either the wheel well
fender flares or without both will give it the final correct look
too. The trunk is restored and the black convertible top looks
great too. Conclusion This a stunning 1955 Ford Thunderbird that we
have here at Skyway Classics is super nice and restored. The
Thunderbird was Henry Ford's response to the Chevrolet Corvette,
and 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. This T-Bird is more than just
nostalgic, it is iconic and a car that will evoke envy from
everyone who sees you driving it. Give us a call at 941-254-6608.
