The 1955 Thunderbird was an immediate hit, selling more than 14,000 that year (compared to just 700 Corvettes). The undeniably sleek Corvette’s initial engine performance was relatively underwhelming, but it was gaining lots of attention from the press and public, and Ford was motivated to respond, rushing the Thunderbird to the market in 1955. General Motors built the first American sports car: the Chevrolet Corvette, released in 1953. Vehicle comes with 3 sets of keys with remotes, soft top boot cover, hard stand cradle, hard top tool, clean CarFax, copy of original MSRP ($41,300) and some service records and all factory books/manuals.The last Thunderbird, Ford Motor Company’s iconic sports car, emerges from a Ford factory in Wixom, Michigan on July 1, 2005.įord began its development of the Thunderbird in the years following World War II, during which American servicemen had the opportunity to observe sleek European sports cars. The car is truly a joy to drive and will stand out from any others as this color combo is very rare and the light sand leather were very limited in production. Vehicle comes with the special options of the hard top, select shift transmission, 17in alloy wheels, engine oil cooler, dual auto climate control, soft boot cover, premium stereo with in dash 6CD player and heated front seats. Vehicle is in very nice shape and has less than 28k miles logged on it since new. This stunning black car is complimented nicely with the ultra-rare Light Sand Appearance Package that gave you the hard top to match the interior and the sand pinstripe on the side of vehicle. Here we offer the 2005 Ford Thunderbird with the exclusive 50th Anniversary edition. However, in the early 90's Ford put some performance back into the model with better styling and performance to make the two door more attractable to the buyers. Unfortunately the years went by and the name plate fell into some less desirable “square birds” and the dreadful 70-80's that should have killed the model. The iconic '55-'57 Thunderbirds were very impressive with its cutting edge style, dual tops and performance for the thrill seeker. The Thunderbird for Ford was designed to be a sports car and after the first few years of people falling in love with the style and features it kind of morphed into a luxury brand for the Ford Motor Company.
