1955 Thunderbird

Show Car

"The introductory T-Bird had style in spades, owing to its low, two-seat bodywork. (Ford pointed out in advertising that the Thun­derbird's height from the cowl to the ground was just slightly more than three feet.) It had a 102-inch wheelbase -- more than a foot shorter than a 1955 Ford sedan -- yet borrowed heavily from the many new styling touches adopted for the year's full-size Fords. The Thunderbird managed to avoid being cluttered with excessive chrome trim or outlandish two-tone paint schemes."

There are over 140 pictures of this car in the ad below, including detailed exterior, interior, engine, trunk and undercarriage. Please let them load on your computer, it will take some time because of the size.
