Beautiful 1955 Ford Thunderbird Convertible


New to our Redwood City showroom is this rare and desirable 1955 Ford Thunderbird 2 Door Convertible with factory red exterior paint, a white top and a matching red/white vinyl interior. This true survivor features the factory 292 V-8 engine under the hood with the numbers-matching automatic transmission, and it is equipped from the factory with A/C and many other features. This one is almost 100% factory original as well and it is the impossible to find non porthole model…which makes this a seriously desirable classic roadster.


True Survivor in Factory Original, Unrestored Condition


The current owner of this 1955 Ford Thunderbird Convertible informs us that it is a three-owner classic that he purchased all the way back in 1958. And over those past 57 years that it has been in his possession, the only things that have changed on this beauty are the stereo system, the water pump and the factory wire wheels (original pump and wheels included with sale). It also comes with an extra pair of fender skirts as well. In fact, this amazing sports car has been stored indoors on blocks for the vast majority of its life, just to keep the weight off the suspension and preserve it to the highest possible levels.

In terms of actual condition, the exterior factory paint does show several small dings and scratches and the interior has some moderate wear to it as well. This true survivor starts right up and performs nicely though, and the current owner tells us that nothing has been changed or restored other than the minor components that we mentioned earlier. It is simply an amazing classic roadster that’s likely being sold at a price far too conservative.


Possibly the Steal of the Year on this One


Overall, this exceedingly rare 1955 Ford Thunderbird Roadster is in very nice original, unmolested shape and it still performs admirably for a true survivor. Some collectors spend their entire lives searching for an example of this caliber without ever finding one this nice, so this beauty may literally sell overnight. For more information about this vehicle, visit our Redwood City, California showroom, give us a call at 650-276-5400, or email us at Sales@SpecialtySales.com. Be sure to mention Stock # R12116 as well.


Legal Disclosures: Specialty Sales Classics has advertised and sold thousands of classic cars since our founding in 1978. We strongly encourage any and all buyers who are unable to view the vehicle in-person to perform a Pre-Purchase Inspection (by an independent party of their choosing) prior to the purchase. Given the age of many of our vehicles, it is extremely difficult to adequately describe all aspects of each vehicles condition in the limited space available and we have learned that these Pre-Purchase Inspections are helpful to all parties involved.

The information presented for this vehicle is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed as a basis of purchase. The Buyer should make a thorough, independent inspection and investigation of the vehicle prior to purchase.
