Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Chicago is proud to present this beautiful 1955 Ford Thunderbird. An icon for everything from a sports car to a luxury coupe, and even as a forced-fed, muscle-bound stoplight warrior and NASCAR champion in the 80's and '90s. Most consider the purest form of the Ford Thunderbird to be its first generation, which ran from the 1955 through 1957 model years. At that time, it was neck-and-neck with the Corvette in the fight for American sports car excellence. The Ford Thunderbird was marketed as a personal car, and many were equipped with high-society options like the classic rear bumper-mounted "continental kit" spare tire.
This 1955 Ford Thunderbird comes equipped with a 292 CI V8 backed by an automatic transmission. With a Red exterior and removable Hard Top, with Red and White Interior, bright chrome front and rear bumpers, and White Wall Tires, this T-Bird is a head turner for sure. The interior is clean, comfortable and in good condition. This T-Bird will make a good addition to any car show or local Saturday night cruise to hit the town to grab a burger or ice cream. If you are looking for a 1955 Ford Thunderbird, you can't go wrong making this one here, your very own.
Options on this 1955 Ford Thunderbird include: AM Radio, Manual Convertible Top, and White wall Tires

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.
