1955 Ford Thunderbird convertible


Recommended Posts

Appraised in 'fine' condition (previously), has both soft and hard tops. v8 291, 2 door coupe, originally california car, always stored indoors. Hasn't run in a few years, believed to be mechanically sound, although the family says they recall it needs either a starter or ignition switch.  Estate sale, pics and more info available upon request.  Asking $28k. Contact me at 513-319-6272 or mgcipollone@gmail.com  thank you.

 

Here are a couple old pictures for info. the car is now similar, albeit dusty from being in the garage. if you are interested, i can do a facetime or post recent pics from inside the garage.

Early Birds are a commodity, one searches for the one with colors and options wanted.

 

Agreed that pictures are needed.

 

Plus, a non running T-bird, even with both tops, has a hard time breaking the 20k mark.  Get it running, clean it up, pictures…

The little birds were fine on power, but don’t confuse an early Tbird with a sports car.  Handling was adequate, but dive into a curve too fast and one knew the suspension was wanting.  I’ve owned a dozen of them, all three years, and that’s my experience.  Lovely cars, though.  The 56 cowl vents helped keep your legs from baking with transmission heat, and moving the spare out of the trunk that same year at least gave you room for a Dopp kit in the trunk.

Dopp kit?  Is that like a Dope kit?   Just joking, I learned a lot from your comments.   The original seller-helper has listed a couple of quickie member sign ons.  There will not be a sale from this viewing.  Most nice people are passing on critical comments.
