The car would make a great daily driver and starts up immediately every time. 12V conversion has been done.
Paint & Body: The classic lines of this original Thunderbird sill wears its sought-after Torch Red paint with Red/White interior. The car has been re-sprayed and touched up at some point. Although there are minor dings, no major damage is evident, and there is no indication of any significant filler.

Fender skirts and headlight 'eyebrows' have been upgraded with a ''dress-up" kit with extra chrome.

Seats are upholstered in original red and white design, carpet is newer and door trim is good. Power seats are inoperative. Mechanical tachometer works (this is very rare to find).
Glass / Windows / Doors: Glass is clean, doors are solid and power windows work.
Convertible Top(s): This Thunderbird comes with original (white) hard top in excellent shape and an aftermarket white soft top in very good shape with no tears. Soft top stows behind the seat if desired. But why put the top on when you an drive this beauty with no top at all.

Wheels / Tires: This 1955 Thunderbird comes with original-style white wall tires, original hubcaps and the desirable fender skirts
