The first 2-seat Ford since 1938. the Thunderbird was developed at nearly the same time as the Chevrolet Corvette. Rather than becoming a rival to the European sports cars imported into the United States. Ford created a new completely new market segment around the Thunderbird. the personal luxury car. While a performance car in its own right. the Thunderbird focused more on comfort than speed. Until the eleventh-generation Ford Thunderbird was unveiled in 2002. this was the only version of the Thunderbird to be produced as a two-seat convertible. Ford unveiled the Thunderbird at the Detroit Auto Show on February 20. 1954.
