For Sale: 1955 Ford Thunderbird in O'Fallon, Illinois

For sale in our Atlanta showroom is a beautiful 1955 Ford Thunderbird. This Ford T-Bird for sale was Henry Ford's response to the Chevrolet Corvette, and was revealed at the Detroit Auto Show on February 20, 1954. No one could have predicted the success the Thunderbird would have. The Thunderbird's first year of production literally outsold the Corvette more than 23 to 1. Though it was sleek and sporty, the Thunderbird was not considered a sports car to Ford, but a "personal luxury vehicle." This Torch Red beauty is a fine example of that first year, a great representation of the epic Thunderbird line. With a short and stout body, lovely curves, and a removable hard top, it's a real looker. With a hard top ready to hook-up, it's ready for whatever weather you throw at it.

These motors were known for reliability, impressive torque, and unique sound. It's backed by a healthy 3-speed Ford-o-matic automatic transmission, which makes it an easy driver and a nice cruiser for anyone and everyone. With chrome wire wheels wrapped in wide whitewall radial tires, this T-Bird has just as much class as it does sass.
