Description

Measuring just 175 inches long and weighing only 2,980 pounds, this 1955 Ford Thunderbird has a nice balance of style and performance. Painted in authentic Thunderbird Blue, the exterior shows off the sleek, uncluttered design. Chrome accents run from the front grille through the body sides and onto the bumpers, giving just enough flash without going overboard. The 15" factory-style wheels with P205/75R15 white wall tires complete the classic look from the ground up. A white convertible top with plastic rear window adds to the appeal, and the included white hardtop gives the option of that famous fixed-roof profile when needed.

Turquoise and white colors fill the interior space with period-correct flair. The vinyl bench seat provides room for driver and passenger, complemented by newer carpet throughout the floor area. The clean instrument panel houses all necessary gauges right where you need them. Door panels carry the two-tone design theme from side to side across the cabin. For audio entertainment, an AM/FM radio sits in the dash. The floor shifter lets you control the upgraded transmission with easy access whenever you want to change gears.

Mechanical muscle comes from the 292 cubic inch V8 motor that gives this lightweight two-seater plenty of acceleration. The freshly painted engine bay looks tidy with all components well-organized for both function and appearance. Fuel flows through an Edelbrock 1405 single four-barrel carburetor for consistent performance. The key upgrade found here is the AOD four-speed automatic transmission, allowing much better highway cruising speeds than factory equipment could provide. Front disc brakes handle stopping duties effectively. The factory suspension setup uses coil springs with shocks up front and leaf springs with shocks at the rear, giving that authentic American car ride quality.
