Description of 1955 Ford Thunderbird

This was in a privatecollection in Hickory NC for 23yrs. Odometer shows 32,613 miles as of 12/16 But it is TMU. When the owner passed away his daughter sold off his collection. The paint looks like it was just done but I don’t know when it was painted. I had the car serviced since it was not being driven very often, now it is a reliable good drivingcar. This is a very nice looking and driving car, its fun and draws a lot of lookers at the cruse-ins.
