Description for Ford Thunderbird 1955
This freshly restored 1955 Thunderbird offers the buyer a chance to own a prime example of a '50's Thunderbird at a fraction of the cost of purchasing and restoring one to this condition. This beautiful Thunderbird was treated to a full professional body-on restoration in 2012. It has been carefully stored and driven just a couple of hundred break-in miles since the restoration. The original Code T Thunderbird Blue color is finished to show quality level, nd the interior, runk and engine bay have all been properly restored.
