1955 Ford Thunderbird 292 V8 Engine Convertible

1955 Ford Thunderbird was a game-changer. Sure, the Corvette set the stage, but the Thunderbird introduced the personal luxury car, a concept that has proven remarkably durable in the 50-odd years since its introduction. This lovely 1955 T-Bird shows you why these are such enduring favorites, and why no collection is complete without one today. If you ask someone to close their eyes and think of a Thunderbird, this Torch Red roadster is quite likely what they'll imagine. Beautifully proportioned, neatly styled, and with neat little details throughout that told the world that Ford was serious about their 2-seater. This one was restored a few years ago and has seen some use since then, but you really can't go wrong with an early 'Bird. The paint is bright, offering a depth and clarity that even the best finishes in 1955 couldn't match, and while it shows a few nicks and bumps, none of it detracts from the pure '50s fun this car represents.
