There's no doubt the Ford Thunderbird was a game-changer when it hit the market in 1955. Not designed to compete with the Corvette, but surely inspired by it, the Ford was more luxury than sport, but that was just fine in the eyes of Thunderbird buyers, who eagerly bought every single one Ford could build.

This lovely Thunderbird Blue 1955 T-Bird has been with the same owner for nearly 55 years. Impressive! Thunderbirds are notorious for rusting in some pretty demonic ways, so finding a solid example is important. The paint is 13 years old but it remains in fantastic shape, making this one of the most impressive early 'Birds we've seen in a long time. Code T Thunderbird Blue was accurately replicated using modern finishes so it's bright and clear in person, and all the chrome shows quite well. To say it was an expensive job would be an extreme understatement, but I think you'll agree that it was worth every penny. This car has also been fitted with a correct non-porthole hardtop, which might look odd but the porthole didn't show up until 1956. 1955 also included unique exhaust outlets in the bumper guards and what many enthusiasts consider the most pure shape: no pointed tail fins and no continental kit to mar the lines. This is a great-looking baby 'Bird!.. (Full write up with specs and high definition photos posted on our website!)
