Stout and strong the 1955 Thunderbird have a reputation for being mechanically trouble free. Ford only planned to build 10,000 T-Birds for the 1955 model year, but within the first 10 days they had over 3,500 orders. It would go on to sell over 16,000 before the yearend. This was the first time a singular model rose to the top of a company’s line up that was not considered a big coupe, sedan, station wagon, or truck. Even if you could not afford one or it was not practical enough for you, you still dreamt of owning one.

A fresh repaint in Raven Black and it does not get any more mid 50s looking than this wonderful 2 seat bird. Chrome accents and white-walled tires accent the pure simplicity of this classic. Choose between open air cruising with the convertible top, or switch to the hardtop for those cooler fall days. The two-tone black and white leather interior hugs the curves of the bench seat

Powered by a numbers matching V8- 292 CI – 198 HP engine with a Holley 4 Barrel Carburetor, mated with a floor-shift “Ford-O-Matic” transmission with only 35,456 original miles. Other options included standard steering and drum brakes, tinted glass, tachometer, electric clock, windshield wipers and rear fender shields.

This car is in excellent condition inside and out and is a dream cruiser. Appraised in excellent 2+ Condition August 2021.
