Seller’s notes about this car

Gateway Classic Cars of Nashville Tennessee is proud to digitally present this beautiful 1955 Ford Thunderbird Convertible. All children of the 1960s remember the song, and shell have fun ,fun, fun until her daddy takes the T-bird away This iconic car is remembered in so many fond ways. A lot of us remember one from our youths, we all knew someone who drove one and we still remember them because of that fact! Well, here is your chance to own a real beauty. This 1955 red T-bird is all dressed up and ready to go places. The smooth lines of this car are painted a sweet shade of red, not in-your-face arrest-me-red, more like a bashful red. Just looking at the car reminds you of warm sand between your toes and the smell of Coppertone suntan lotion. It does not take much behind the steering wheel of this car to remember that she was designed to compete with the Chevrolet Corvette. This 1955 Thunderbird was designed to be light, quick, fun to drive and fast, but slowing down to give the gawkers a chance to see you behind the wheel is just as fun. Under the hood of this Bird is the 292 V8, putting out plenty of power to prowl the night (sorry could not help myself).Backing this small block Ford is a 3-speed automatic transmission, so highway driving - as well as stoplight blasting - is hot on the menu. So if you had fun, fun, fun until daddy took your T-bird away, now is your chance to get it back. Options for this 1955 Thunderbird convertible feature: AM Radio, Manual convertible top hard and soft, Power steering, power brakes, leather interior and whitewall tires wrapped around steel wheels and beauty caps. . Feel free to call the Nashville showroom at 615-213-1800Sale held pursuant to permit No. 19289 of department of licenses granted the 14th day of August 2015.
Gateway Classic Cars is Where Dreams Are Driven

Great buy and super restoration!

I thought the '55 had been well-restored and exceptionally maintained. Superb styling and what an eye-catcher! Great price and the owner is moving back to California. I would move on this car.
