Excellent road going condition! Releasedin 1955, the Thunderbird had created a new vehicle niche; thepersonal luxury car. Equipped with performance motors, lots ofstandard features, plush interiors and comfortable suspensions, theThunderbird was in a class all its own. For many, it was thequintessential road trip car for two. As with most automakers inthe 50s, the car was drastically updated every year, with new sheetmetal and features. The second year of production debuted with thespare tire absent from the inner trunk and mounted as a continentalstyle spare for additional trunk space, along with the exhaust nowexisting through the rear bumper at the corners. Hardtops were nowavailable with optional porthole windows for better visibility whenin use. And for added cabin comfort, a side vent was incorporatedto the front fender to flow air into the cabin on hot days, alongwith side wind wings, sun visors, 12-volt electrical system, andround heater control knobs.
