Measuring just 175 inches long and weighing only 2,980 pounds, this
1955 Ford Thunderbird has a nice balance of style and performance.
Painted in authentic Thunderbird Blue, the exterior shows off the
sleek, uncluttered design. Chrome accents run from the front grille
through the body sides and onto the bumpers, giving just enough
flash without going overboard. The 15" factory-style wheels with
P205/75R15 white wall tires complete the classic look from the
ground up. A white convertible top with plastic rear window adds to
the appeal, and the included white hardtop gives the option of that
famous fixed-roof profile when needed.
Turquoise and white colors fill the interior space with
period-correct flair. The vinyl bench seat provides room for driver
and passenger, complemented by newer carpet throughout the floor
area. The clean instrument panel houses all necessary gauges right
where you need them. Door panels carry the two-tone design theme
from side to side across the cabin. For audio entertainment, an
AM/FM radio sits in the dash. The floor shifter lets you control
the upgraded transmission with easy access whenever you want to
change gears.
Mechanical muscle comes from the 292 cubic inch V8 motor that gives
this lightweight two-seater plenty of acceleration. The freshly
painted engine bay looks tidy with all components well-organized
for both function and appearance. Fuel flows through an Edelbrock
1405 single four-barrel carburetor for consistent performance. The
key upgrade found here is the AOD four-speed automatic
transmission, allowing much better highway cruising speeds than
factory equipment could provide. Front disc brakes handle stopping
duties effectively. The factory suspension setup uses coil springs
with shocks up front and leaf springs with shocks at the rear,
giving that authentic American car ride quality.
