Description of 1955 Ford Thunderbird

I pulled this listing last week because there was a delay in receiving the title from the estate but the clear Florida title is in hand. She Starts right up and runs strong! The in house mechanic stated this thing fires up everytime. The 3 speed with overdrive transmission shifts impressively smooth. Power seat is very rare. Along with Power steering & power brakes. Still on 6V system. Part of a collection of 30 Fords, he last project that the elderly Gentleman purchased prior to passing. It did not make it to the paint booth but the only thing I found were a couple small chips and a little bit of bubbling around trunk lid. see pic. This thing is solid. A Florida car with the original 1955 Sarasota, L license plate. This is a true barn find. I put the spare on in order to back it out for photos. I only rinsed it with a hose. It was stored under carport on a concrete slab and driven once a month. The seats are dusty. Needs tires. Ask questions or come and take a look for yourself! Available to view anytime. In trunk there is gas shocks, indow weather strip, a tell tale sign of what the old man planned on replacing) along with original jack. Trunk is solid. I did not even wipe seats. An 8 hour detail would do wonders. No reserve auction. Thanks and good luck!
