This 1955 Ford Thunderbird is finished in Thunderbird Blue over color-coordinated upholstery and is powered by a 292ci V8 paired with a three-speed Fordomatic automatic transmission. Equipment includes a body-color hardtop, a black soft top, chrome bumpers, and an AM radio. This Thunderbird is now offered by the selling dealer, a BaT Local Partner, on consignment at no reserve with a clean California title.
The car is finished in Thunderbird Blue, and features include “checkered flags” emblems, chrome bumpers, solid front fenders, auxiliary parking lights, a fixed antenna, and dual exhaust outlets that exit through the rear bumperettes. Tears are noted on the soft top.
The 15″ steel wheels are mounted with American Classic tires measuring 205/75. Stopping power is supplied by drum brakes at each corner.
The bench seat is upholstered in turquoise and white vinyl and is accompanied by a color-coordinated dashboard and door panels. Equipment includes a floor-mounted shifter, manual windows, and an AM radio.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and frames a sweeping 150-mph speedometer, a 5k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 30k miles.
The P-code 292ci Y-block V8 is topped with a four-barrel carburetor and was factory rated at 198 horsepower.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Fordomatic three-speed automatic transmission.
