More about this car
This 1955 Ford Thunderbird is a black-on-black convertible that was acquired by the current owner in 1985. It has a white soft top and a removable black hardtop, and the car is powered by a 292ci V8 paired with a three-speed Fordomatic automatic transmission. Details include 15″ wheels with covers as well as rear fender skirts, chrome bumpers, and a cabin heater. This Thunderbird is now offered in Idaho on consignment by the selling dealer, a BaT Local Partner, with the owner’s manual and a clean Washington title. Finished from the factory in Raven Black, the car is believed to have been repainted at some point under prior ownership. It is equipped with a white soft top, a removable black hardtop, rear fender skirts, and chrome bumpers. Blemishes, including holes in the soft top, are shown in the gallery below.
