Vehicle Description
Early Thunderbirds like this 1955 example remain some of the most
collectable '50s cars, and it's easy to understand why. With
strong-performing V8s under the hood, plenty of luxury, and style
that still makes people smile even more than sixty years later,
these are ideal cars for the collector who enjoys driving.
Take some time to look at the paint in these pictures. See that
almost halo-like glow? That's thanks to the modern Pearl White
paint. This recent application lives up to its name by adding a
lustrous metal flake within the white, which gets highlighted even
further when it gets cleared over. The result is a heavenly
Thunderbird every time the sunshine hits this droptop. So while the
paint is modern, it radiates the kind of luxury we bet Ford would
have done if they had the technology back in '55. And since the
paint Is shimmering so nicely, only the best brightwork can go with
it. That's why the bullet-nosed front bumper and the exclusive '55
rear bumper we re-dipped to have the best chrome. Plus, when you're
a Thunderbird fan, you know to look for the extras. Items like the
added Continental kit and hardtop let you know this is a premium
example of Ford's personal luxury cruiser. Finishing it all off are
a great set of wire wheels with Thunderbird center caps, and
whitewall tires are a must-have for complete iconic style.
While we all love the iconic look of the porthole hardtop that
comes with the sale, you might like the white soft top even more.
That's only because it allows you quicker access to show off the
interior. This restored black and white setup gives this T-Bird the
appeal of a finely pressed tuxedo. So there's always going to
something alluring about parking it in the front row no matter if
it's a car show or a night on the town. Once you power adjust the
seat to your perfect setting, you'll notice the machined aluminum
panel that runs from door panel to door panel give this the sporty
feeling that made this a Corvette rival. You slip behind the
factory steering wheel, and above it is the nifty speedometer
that's lit from behind by a Plexiglas "window" viewed through the
windshield. It's a true class act.
Under the hood is the "Thunderbird Special" 292 cubic inch V8 which
purrs sweetly through an authentic dual exhaust system. Bold red
engine paint was a Thunderbird design statement, along with the
bright chrome air cleaner and gorgeous cast aluminum valve covers
that were part of a dress-up kit. As a true personal luxury
vehicle, the power steering and Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission
make driving effortless. So there's nothing stopping you from going
out an enjoying this icon on the open road.
This first-year Thunderbird has been given all the right care and
improvements to be the shining star in your life. So don't let
something this unique slip away. Call today!!!
