This 1955 Ford Thunderbird was purchased by the seller’s father in 1966 and is finished in Thunderbird Blue over turquoise and white vinyl upholstery. Power is provided by a 292ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, and equipment includes a body-color hardtop and continental kit, a white soft top, and power steering. The carburetor was rebuilt and the battery and generator were replaced in 2021.
The car is finished in Thunderbird Blue with a color-matched hardtop with a porthole window from a later model Thunderbird. Additional features include a continental kit, a white soft top, rear fender skirts, and a hood scoop.
Body-color 15″ steel wheels wear factory covers and are wrapped in whitewall tires. The car is equipped with power steering.
The bench seat is upholstered in turquoise vinyl with pleated white inserts, while stainless steel trim accents the matching dashboard and door panels. Amenities include a floor-mounted shifter, a heater, and electric windows.
A two-spoke steering wheel frames a 5k-rpm tachometer and a 150-mph speedometer. The five-digit odometer indicates 34k miles.
The 292ci Y-block V8 features finned valve covers and was factory rated at 198 horsepower and 286 lb-ft of torque. The four-barrel carburetor was rebuilt, the battery and generator were replaced, and a battery cutoff switch was installed in 2021. A Weiand tri-power intake manifold is included in the sale. An auxiliary electric fuel pump has been added to aid in starting the car.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a three-speed Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission.
