Description : Gateway Classic Cars Houston showroom is pleased to offer something one doesn't come across very often, a nifty baby blue 1984 Ford replica of the classic 1955 Ford Thunderbird. While we don't have many details on the kit that was used to create this snazzy recreation of the classic 1950's personal luxury cruiser (that the first generation Thunderbird was), it'll fool most onlookers! The light blue paint on the fiberglass body looks good, and it is well-suited to this body. The title indicates that the platform has a 1984 Ford 302 engine and AOD (4-speed automatic) Transmission. This 1984 Ford/1955 Ford Thunderbird replica has Power-assisted Front Disc Brakes, Air Conditioning, AM/FM/Cassette Radio, Power Steering, White Synthetic Leather Seating, Seat Belts, Spare Tire and Jack, Radial Tires, and Removable Hardtop (it becomes a roadster when removed - no folding convertible top, however). The dual exhaust system reminds listeners that they have V8 power under the hood, the AOD transmission makes for comfortable highway cruising, and the radial tires and gas-charged shocks make for a better ride than you'd expect. If you like the look of the first gen T-bird, prefer a few more modern touches than they offered, and don't want to pay the premium price that most '55 Thunderbirds are commanding, this is the one for you!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
