For Sale: 1955 Ford Thunderbird in Farmingdale, New York

1955 Ford Thunderbird for sale. Motorcar Classics is pleased to present this 1955 Ford Thunderbird featured in Red with White hardtop and Red amp; White vinyl interior. Hard top convertible with a black cloth soft top. This car is equipped with the 3-speed manual transmission. Options include power windows and AM radio. Fords original two-seat Thunderbird, inspired by Chevrolets Corvette, went into production on September 9, 1954. Like Chevrolets fiberglass sports car, the steel-bodied 1955 T-bird rides on a 102-inch wheelbase, but the similarities ended there. Save for some early applications, a removable fiberglass hardtop was standard. Also standard were roll-up windows and V-8 power, all features unavailable to early Corvette customers. The Thunderbird V-8 is a 292 cubic-inch Y-block topped by a single four-barrel carburetor. Output is 193 horsepower as rated with the standard 3-speed manual gearbox. Our car presents itself in very good condition all around. We would characterize it as a high-level driver and it will be a source of pride to its next owner. It runs and drives well and looks great going down the road.
