This 1955 Ford Thunderbird convertible is powered by a Ford 292ci 4-barrel V8 backed by an automatic transmission. Features include a 12-volt conversion, an electric fuel pump, power brakes, a power seat, and manual steering. This Snowshoe White Thunderbird with a black convertible soft top over a turquoise and white vinyl interior is available now and comes from the selling dealer with a full car cover, white hardtop with a stand and cover, turquoise tonneau cover, and clear Massachusetts title.
The exterior is finished in Snowshoe White (Code E) as verified by the data tag. Features include dual headlamps, chrome bumpers, a chrome grille, a hood scoop, a driver-side mirror, dual taillights with reverse lights, color-matched wheel skirts, and rear bumper exhaust ports. A walk-around video can be seen in the carousel to the right.
A set of chrome Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels with 3-bar spinners is wrapped in whitewall radial tires.
The 4-way power bench seat, trim, and door panels are upholstered in turquoise and white vinyl (code XC) as verified by the data tag. Features include turquoise carpet with white rubber floor mats, manual windows, manual steering, power brakes, a floor-mounted automatic shifter, and a turquoise steel dashboard with a dark green padded top.
A 150-mph speedometer, 5K-rpm tachometer, clock, fuel gauge, temperature gauge, and warning lights for the oil pressure and generator are mounted ahead of the driver. The 5-digit odometer shows 72K miles, but the true mileage is unknown.
Power is provided by a Ford 292ci 4-barrel V8 backed by a Ford-O-Matic transmission. Underhood features include a 12-volt battery, manual steering, power brakes, electric fuel pump, finned aluminum valve covers, a chrome air filter, and a windshield washer.
This Thunderbird came factory-equipped with an independent front suspension and a solid rear drive axle. Stopping is handled by power drum brakes. According to the selling dealer, the stainless steel dual exhaust system is factory correct and exits through the rear bumper. Additional photos can be seen in the carousel to the right.
The selling dealer will include a body-color hardtop with a stand and cover, full car cover, and turquoise tonneau cover with the sale.
