1955 Ford Thunderbird

Now featured in our Denver showroom, a stunning 1955 Ford Thunderbird that is very much original with modern changes making it a great driver’s car! The Thunderbird was Henry Ford's response to the Chevrolet Corvette, and was revealed at the Detroit Auto Show on February 20, 1954. No one could have predicted the success the Thunderbird would have. The Thunderbird's first year of production literally outsold the Corvette more than 23 to 1. Though it was sleek and sporty, the Thunderbird was not considered a sports car to Ford, but a "personal luxury vehicle." This Torch Red beauty is a fine example of that first year, a great representation of the epic Thunderbird line. With a short and stout body, lovely curves, and a removable hard top, it's a real looker. Some of the modern touches to this T-Bird includes the Coker wide white wall radial tires for improved handling, 2-speed electric windshield wipers replacing the date vacuum system, electrical system was converted to 12-volts, and the ignition was converted to electric as well. This Thunderbird for sale is powered by a legendary 292 cubic inch Y-Block V8 and is backed by a healthy Ford-o-matic automatic transmission, which makes it an easy driver and a nice cruiser for anyone and everyone. The red interior was reupholstered, and the carpet was replaced giving the interior the look it did coming right out of the showroom back in 1955. This fun driving 1955 Thunderbird convertible for sale is ready to head on down to the local cruise-in, drive-in movie, and show. This vehicle is located in our Denver showroom.
