The car that started a legend. Much was happening in the auto world in ’55. Chevrolet introduced its all new ohv V-8 engine and the Corvette would never be the same! Not to be outdone, the folks over in Dearborn decided to get into the two seat "sports car" market themselves and introduced the Ford Thunderbird! This was more like a "sporty personal luxury" car rather than a sports car. But regardless, it was an instant hit with the buying public and thus a legend was born . . .

This example came out of a vast collection of top notch sports and exotics and it’s quite original throughout. The seats and carpet have been replaced, but everything looks very original and tidy otherwise including under the dash! It’s a factory three speed manual and optioned with power seat, factory am radio and soft top. Comes with original owner’s manual.
