This 1955 Ford Thunderbird convertible is powered by a V-8 engine
paired with a Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission. The car is
equipped with power steering and factory-style brakes. Exterior
features include chrome trim, wire wheels and a matching removable
hardtop. The vehicle retains its original spare tire and wheel,
size 6.70-14 four-ply, mounted in the original spare holder along
with the original jack. The body received new chrome during a
restoration completed approximately five to seven years ago while
in a private collection of about 25 years. The interior has been
refreshed with new seats, new upholstery, a new dash cover and new
door panels, and is equipped with a four-way power seat and AM
radio. The electrical system retains its original-style six-volt
battery setup with generator. Documentation included with the
vehicle consists of literature from the Saturday Evening Post,
receipts from portions of the restoration and a second set of keys.
