The Ford Thunderbird, commonly called “T-Bird”, is a car produced by the American manufacturer FORD. It was originally a two-seater “sport” model designed in 1955 to compete with the Chevrolet Corvette released in 1953, but the Thunderbird would eventually become a luxury car in the Cadillac Eldorado segment.<\/p>\n

From 1955 to 1957, it was a two-seater convertible model, equipped with a 292 ci \/ 4785 cm3 engine of 200hp. 16,000 copies were sold in the first year, making it a commercial success, and total production during its three-year run was 53,166 copies.<\/p>\n

The name “Thunderbird” refers to Indian mythology: it is the thunderbird that is supposed to bring rain and fertility.<\/p>\n

The model presented here was purchased in 2019 in the USA and was partially restored afterwards (chassis, box, hood and interior). It is equipped with a 3 speed manual gearbox and has a hardtop in addition to its vinyl top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
