Creating the first American “personal” car, Ford’s Thunderbird set the automotive world on its ear when it debuted. MotoeXotica Classic Cars is proud to present this 1955 T-Bird. This well-equipped example was made on June 10, 1955. It was the 1,421st vehicle (including Ford passenger cars) turned out at Ford’s River Rouge assembly plant in Detroit, Michigan that day.

Dressed in an eye-popping Goldenrod Yellow (code V), this car’s paint and trim are in overall excellent condition. This hue was a mid-model year addition to the color palette, first made available in March or April 1955. Car comes with two tops, a black, rayon canvas soft-top and a white fiberglass hardtop with rear side portholes from a 1956 or 1957 T-Bird. In the rear are fender skirts over the rear wheels and a Continental spare tire kit, designed to provide more space in the trunk while adding length to the car.

The car’s glass panels and lights are in excellent order while the car’s bodywork is straight and solid. The engine bay is extremely tidy and the battery appears new. The car’s chrome bumpers are in very good condition.

Under the forward-hinged hood is a 292 CID Y-block V-8 engine from the company’s Mercury division. It has a four-barrel carburetor and breathes via dual exhausts. Backing the engine are a Ford-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission and a 3.31:1 differential. Driver convenience features include vintage air-conditioning, power steering, power brakes, four-way power seats and power windows.

Inside, the car sports an interior upholstered in black and yellow (code D), which was another March 1955 introduction. This color scheme makes the interior as equally eye-popping as the exterior. The pleated black and yellow seats are in excellent order, as is the black carpeting. The yellow headliner of the hardtop looks great while the two-spoke steering wheel is in excellent condition and the steering column has a three-inch telescoping mechanism. The inner door panels are black and yellow, echoing the rest of the interior’s theme. There are minor blemishes on the inner door panels close to the rear fenders. The black instrument panel features a speedometer, tachometer and a clock, also known as the Astra-Dial Control Panel. There’s also an aftermarket engine temperature gauge mounted below the dash. The chrome, floor-mounted shifter is in excellent shape and completing the interior is a retro AM/FM stereo.

If you want a rolling conversation starter at traffic lights, a car that will turn heads wherever it’s parked, elicit thumbs-up, smiles and honks at stop signs, stop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars today to check out this fabulous Ford Thunderbird.
