Very nice and comfortable driving 1955 Ford Thunderbird finished in Torch red, which is its original color according to the data plates.

Exterior: The trim tag tells us this was born a Torch red car. The factory-correct color was given a quality respray later in life, so it still carries an excellent shine today. And you can tell there's an overall look of quality with the details like straight body lines and good gaps. The Torch red looks great coordinating with the whitewall tires. Included with the car is also a well-fitting white folding soft top if you feel the weather might become nicer throughout the day.

Interior: When you take the top down/off, the beautiful white and red interior looks very fresh and clean, and the trim tag says that this example was born this way. The seat, carpeting, door panels, and dash have a quality and fresh feel that gets the fundamentals right. This '55 bird comes with a power seat feature.

Mechanics: More of that time capsule and quality feeling comes when you open the hood. It's a bright, tidy, and correct presentation. You'll appreciate seeing nice elements like the pie dish air cleaner with gasket, the big red block, and the Thunderbird-specific valve covers. But beneath the aesthetics of that great-looking engine bay is some real substance. This D-code T-bird correctly has the larger 292 cubic-inch V8, and it inhales deeply through a Holley four-barrel carburator. You also have easy driving features like power steering, power brakes and an automatic transmission.
