No matter what your tastes, or what you expect in a car, you’ll find a whole new world of enjoyment in driving the first year Thunderbird. This example is finished in Black with a Black optional removable hardtop, black vinyl soft-top, in addition to a black and white leather interior. The power is derived from a Y-block 292-cid V-8 engine and is mated to a Fordomatic automatic transmission. Among the other features found on the ’55 T-Bird are AM radio, fender skirts, factory wheel covers, whitewall tires; power seat and brakes.
