1955 White Ford Thunderbird Repainted 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
a new white paint job, convertible top, and a black and white
interior is very desirable. Throw in the chrome hubcaps, rear
fender covers, and V8 power and you have one slick T-Bird! Features

Mechanical This T-Bird has the P code 292 cubic inch V8 engine with
193 horsepower from the factory and has most other parts that looks
stock. It had a recent rebuild on it back to factory specs too and
the block, heads, and intake are painted in red. 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
including the 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 Bird has a black
and white interior consisting of the black/white bench seat and
matching door panels and looks stunning with the dash in black with
factory gauges, radio, and controls, black/polished steering wheel,
black carpeting, and the chrome floor shifter. The 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/white 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 hubcaps
and wide whitewall tires and they look good with either the wheel
well fender flares or without both will give it the final correct
look too. Conclusion This a great 1955 Ford Thunderbird that we
have here at Skyway Classics is super nice and driveable. 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.
