The Thunderbird was Ford-s direct response to the Chevrolet Corvette and underwent a rapid development process so it could ultimately be unveiled to the public at the Detroit Auto Show in February of 1954. The 312 cu in V8 became the Thunderbird's standard engine, and now produced about 245 horsepower. The shape of this car is undeniably 50-s and probably one of the most beautiful cars of its time. Being that this is a Continental package, you will immediately notice the spare tire on the back of the boot.

This -56 Thunderbird has been meticulously maintained and garaged kept for most of its life. It comes loaded with standard features of its time such as Town & Country AM radio, convertible manual top, power brakes, power steering, telescoping steering wheel, and cold A/C as stated before! The interior of this car is incredible with even the clock and dashboard accessory light still working!

The 1956 Ford Thunderbird is one of those designs that never goes out of style, and remains an instantly-identifiable icon of the 50s. Beautifully styled, comfortable, and with enough performance to keep almost any gearhead happy, they are perhaps the best combination of styling and performance from the 1950s. It can easily be said that the first generation of Thunderbird was their finest. Between 1955 and 1957 the Thunderbird was a small 2 seat roadster which was comparable to the Chevrolet Corvette. These cars could be had with a 292 CI V8, or an optional 312 CID V8. This T-bird has the larger 312 as well as a Ford-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission, along with new wiring, stainless exhaust, and an electric radiator fan.

Now featured in our Denver showroom, a stunning 1955 Ford Thunderbird that is very much original with modern changes making it a great driver's car! The Thunderbird was Henry Ford's response to the Chevrolet Corvette, and was revealed at the Detroit Auto Show on February 20, 1954. No one could have predicted the success the Thunderbird would have. The Thunderbird's first year of production literally outsold the Corvette more than 23 to 1. Though it was sleek and sporty, the Thunderbird was not considered a sports car to Ford, but a 'personal luxury vehicle. ' This Torch Red beauty is a fine example of that first year, a great representation of the epic Thunderbird line. With a short and stout body, lovely curves, and a removable hard top, it's a real looker.

Some of the modern touches to this T-Bird includes the Coker wide white wall radial tires for improved handling, 2-speed electric windshield wipers replacing the date vacuum system, electrical system was converted to 12-volts, and the ignition was converted to electric as well. This Thunderbird for sale is powered by a legendary 292 cubic inch Y-Block V8 and is backed by a healthy Ford-o-matic automatic transmission, which makes it...

An icon for everything from a sports car to a luxury coupe, and even as a forced-fed, muscle-bound stoplight warrior and NASCAR champion in the 80's and '90s. Most consider the purest form of the Ford Thunderbird to be its first generation, which ran from the 1955 through 1957 model years. At that time, it was neck-and-neck with the Corvette in the fight for American sports car excellence. The Ford Thunderbird was marketed as a personal car, and many were equipped with high-society options like the classic rear bumper-mounted 'continental kit' spare tire. This 1955 Ford Thunderbird comes equipped with a 292 CI V8 backed by an automatic transmission. With a Red exterior and removable Hard Top, with Red and White Interior, bright chrome front and rear bumpers, and White...

This beautiful \'Little Bird\' is the first year for the Thunderbird and was built to compete with the Chevrolet Corvette. It did more than compete. It outsold the Corvette 23:1 in the first year and was a huge success in the personal luxury catagory it helped create. T-Birds have inspired songs, been the stars of movies, and are considered all around cool cars! This beautiful example is painted Thunderbird Blue with a Blue and White interior and has both hard and brand new soft top. A frame off restoration was performed 10 years and 15,000 miles ago and the car still shows well. In fact, the car just made its rounds at locals car shows and picked up a few awards this year! Loaded with options including AM radio, manual convertible tops, power...
