Description of 1955 Ford Thunderbird Base Convertible 2-Door |
1955 Ford Thunderbird Convertible 50,000 ORIG MILE California CAR and the frame is solid and 98% rust-free For sale, a very original 1955 Ford Thunderbird with the frame is solid and 98% rust-free that is a true survivor in every sense of the word. The Thunderbird which was first unveiled to the public on February 20, 1954 at the Detroit Auto Show created a new market segment of a "Personal Luxury Car" and went on to steal the hearts and smiles of many motorists. As the Corvette had a similar roadster style it was marketed as more of a sports car and most early models were absent of many options that the American public was starting to appreciate for the sake of comfort and convenience. This little 'bird has options that were almost unheard of at the time and some particular rare options as well including the 3-speed transmission with Overdrive, power steering, power brakes, AM radio, with True Spoke wheels with a 4NEW radial tires and even a power seat. This T-Bird has a great history having been purchased from the original owner in the California desert in the 1970's and taken back to Dover, DE. Not only has the vehicle been very well maintained in a climate controlled building since being purchased but it is one of the nicest preserved, original cars you are likely to see. Two-seater Thunderbirds have been a staple of the hobby since, well, the very beginning. The appeal of cars like this '55 Thunderbird is easy to understand: V8 power, a carefree attitude, a top that goes down, and lots of style. This is a spectacular car in a rare color with some nice upgrades, offering a great Thunderbird experience that will stop traffic everywhere you go. The interior blue and white; after all, the idea behind the Thunderbird isn't to keep a low profile. The carpets are new seats and door panels were restored a few years ago and show minimal wear. If you like the historical significance of vehicles from the past, have a passion for nostalgia and desire only the highest quality in preserved original cars, this one is for you! Driving this car with the top down is like taking a trip down memory lane. Most old cars from the '50's and '60's can be cumbersome and difficult to drive but not this beauty. One turn of the key and the V8 comes to life and this car rides and handles like a more modern car and is sure to get plenty of attention on the road. INSTEAD OF EMAILING, PLEASE CALL ME.
