West Coast Classics are proud to present an excellent and always
garaged and rust free example of this early 1955 Ford Thunderbird
with factory specifications and options including; 'Ford-o-matic'
automatic transmission, Telescopic steering, Power Front Disc
Brakes, fender skirts, tach, clock, power 4-way driver seat, heater
and defroster, AM radio and it's original 292 V8 4V engine and with
highly desirable and striking Thunderbird chrome wheels! One of the
earliest collectibles amongst post-war cars, the two seater
Thunderbirds of 1955-57 have if anything only gained in popularity
as the years have passed which inspired the tribute models built
between the years 2002-05. They were originally a sales triumph
over Chevrolet's Corvette with clean styling, creature comforts and
of course V8 refinement.This particular example boats it's original
factory 'Raven Black' (color code A) color paint with matching
original 'Black & White' (with the early trim code A)
interior with the engine having been dressed and detailed. The
floor boards, trunk and all the typical rust-prone areas are solid
and rust-free and the car has a very straight body - obviously an
always garaged and cherished car since new. The car has it's
original factory matching color hard top and its original 292 4V V8
engine. The original factory soft top frame and canvas are present
on the car and operational but please note that the original canvas
soft top has some tears and will need replacing.This particular car
drives very well - must be driven to be fully appreciated - does
not miss a beat and purrs like a kitten - drives straight as an
arrow with no strange road wobbles, shakes or rattles - a truly
remarkable daily driver that will give any modern day sports car a
run for it's money! The transmission shifts smoothly through all
the gears and the car has four relatively new radial wide white
wall tires.This is one very fine 1955 Thunderbird with the 292 4BBL
V8 engine and loaded with power front disc brakes, power steering,
power seat, AM radio, skirts, heater & defroster and two
tops in the most striking and desirable of original factory color
combinations! A super striking example which is simply a great
daily driving and turn-key ready example of one of the very finest
of 1950's classic American cars for any classic American car
collector!Data Code plate reads: 40A-A-A-29KS1835
