This classic had an older restoration and has been garage kept, under cover for the past few years. We started it and drove it to our location. (Gas gauge inoperative, speedometer cable is noisy and could use a tuneup and fresh fuel.) This ride has been converted from 6V to 12V system. It does have power windows and power seats. The porthole top is beauty that came with the 56 & 57’s, but some dealers did have them installed on the 55’s to make them more desirable.
Introduced in late 1954 as a new 1955 model, Ford’s sporty two-seater Thunderbird created the personal-car market as a steel-bodied and more luxurious alternative to Chevrolet’s fiberglass-bodied early Corvette. For 1955 production at Ford’s Dearborn factory, where all Thunderbirds were built, the first 1,000 serial numbers were reserved exclusively for the Thunderbird. According to Thunderbird experts, the first “production” Thunderbird is known to have been assigned VIN P5FH100005.
This historic early-production Thunderbird is a highly attractive and correct example throughout. Power is delivered by Ford’s 292 cubic-inch “Y-Block” V-8 engine, factory-rated at 198 horsepower with a 4-barrel carburetor and optional, floor-shifted Ford-O-Matic 2-speed automatic transmission. In addition to its body-color removable auxiliary hardtop, this early Thunderbird includes a White convertible top, as well.
