 The iconic porthole in the hardtop is one of the strongest impressions of the sleek 1955 Thunderbird. Ford created the personal luxury car segment with this design. Our car is an older restoration that we would characterize as a #3 or better car with very good looks and excellent mechanicals. It has the sportier 3-speed manual transmission and my principal, Will, reports that it is great fun to drive. It will draw a crowd at cruise night, and feels as though you could drive it anywhere. |

Motorcar Classics is pleased to present this 1955 Ford Thunderbird featured in Black with Red & White vinyl interior. This car has both the hardtop and convertible soft top, and it is equipped with the 3-speed manual transmission. Options include 4-way power seats, AM radio and spoked wheel covers.
Ford's original two-seat Thunderbird, inspired by Chevrolet's Corvette, went into production on September 9, 1954. Like Chevrolet's fiberglass sports car, the steel-bodied 1955 T-bird rides on a 102-inch wheelbase, but the similarities ended there. Save for some early applications, a removable fiberglass hardtop was standard, as featured on our fine Black example. Also standard were roll-up windows and V-8 power, all features unavailable to early Corvette customers. The Thunderbird V-8 is a 292 cubic-inch Y-block topped by a single four-barrel carburetor. Output is 193 horsepower as rated with the standard 3-speed manual gearbox.
Our car presents itself in very good condition all around. We would characterize it as a driver rather than a show car, but it will be a source of pride to its next owner and has no needs. It runs and drives well and looks great going down the road.
