Gateway Classic Cars of Ft. Lauderdale is proud to offer a beautiful 1955 Ford Thunderbird. Bird is the word and this word needs to go out that we have a beautiful example of a Baby Bird in our South Florida showroom for sale. This 55 T-Bird comes in a fantastic color combination and you will fall in love with this classic on the first sight. The white exterior looks really good and there is no better choice to have this bird running on chrome wire wheels and white wall tires. Chrome all around the Thunderbird is in good condition. The body lines up very nice. Open the door and you will see a beautiful and clean red and white interior. The Y-Block V8 engine runs smooth and the automatic transmission shift through the gears with ease. Even the Baby Bird looks tiny from outside there is plenty of room for taller drivers to drive this car comfortable down the road. With Power Steering you have a classic car to easily maneuver through traffic. After 63 years the clock still works, and this car proves the great craftsmanship from the earlier days. Created as competition for the Chevrolet Corvette, the Ford Thunderbird was the first 2-seat Ford since 1938 and was designed to be a swift little luxury tourer. A wonderful piece of American History that will look fantastic in your garage, collection or going down the highway. A clean title is waiting to be signed over into your name. Please dont hesitate to contact us with any questions. Let it ride!!!
