This brilliant bird comes in a clean red paint job complemented by a stunning white removable hard top, soft top and a matching interior.

The Thunderbird comes to us from a private collection where it has lived for over 14 years. As such the vehicle has always been properly maintained and stored. Don't miss out on such a stylish piece of American automotive history. Please call or email us for more information.
The Ford Thunderbird hit the market in 1955 in was a direct response to the Chevrolet Corvette. While the Corvette aimed to impress with performance, the T-bird was all about style and substance. Dubbed the first "personal car" by Ford, it was described as a direct descendant of the bespoke 1930s roadsters and was aimed as a brisk grand tourer. It was light for its era and the powerful V8 could propel it to around 120 mph. The 1955 model featured the proven 292cid Y-block V8 and had bumper mounted exhausts and a trunk-mounted spare tire.
