Description : Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is pleased to offer this sweet Turquoise 1955 Ford Thunderbird. When one thinks of classic cars, it's tough not to think of a first-generation T-Bird. Built in response to the Chevrolet Corvette, Ford's Thunderbird went through many changes through its production and still has a cult following. The power plant is a 292 CID V8, which is topped by an Edelbrock 4BBL carb, and backed by a 3-speed automatic transmission. This spunky 1st Gen T-bird has the extra benefit of aftermarket A/C (blows cool), so it's capable of being used year 'round! Its steel wheels are wrapped in wide white wall radial tires that are in good condition. This 'Bird would make for a great driver around town or even take it to your local car show. This first-generation T-Bird features an AM/FM Radio, Power Brakes, Power Steering, seating for two with its turquoise trimmed Power vinyl seat with white inserts, and a white hard top. The optional hard top gives some more insulation in the colder months. Don't wait too long - give our Houston Showroom a call or send us an email today and we'll help get this one headed your way!

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.
