Description
NO RESERVE
The Thunderbird is a truly unique name in Ford's history. The 1955 Thunderbird is the genesis of an entirely new market segment, the personal luxury car. While the sporting nature has always been present, the Thunderbird was more than just a sports car. Available with a number of engines with automatic and manual transmissions over the years, the ninth generation has the added sporting advantage of using innovative turbo technology to create a modern blend of economical running costs and capable power when needed. Throughout the lifespan of the nameplate, the Thunderbird was the go-to car for those looking to escape from the more mundane sedan offerings.
