The story behind this collectible...

- The bird is not driving fast, just flying slowly. -

The Chevrolet Corvette managed to attract a large number of enthusiasts to the brand in the 1950s. Ford had to respond to this, to prevent everyone in the "sporty" group from switching to Chevrolet. For its part, Ford came out with a remarkable car in 1955. A beautifully long two-seater sports convertible, something Ford had not dared to do for years. The result was magnificent; a Gran Tourer with a very futuristic body. Now we call it "The Rocket Era," with the rocket points on the front bumper and the "Rocket-thrusters" like exhaust just above the rear bumper.

Outside of the Thunderbird's totally new design language, Ford came up with a few firsts for the automotive world; a depth-adjustable steering wheel, power steering, partially power-adjustable seats and a see-through counter. Ours has it all! This Thunderbird has been fully restored and is in very good condition.

Mrs. Freeman of Santa Barbara, California took good care of the Ford. The original title (copy) is still present. In the Netherlands, the Ford has been in a collection, which is now going up for sale. We think this is one of the most beautiful American Cool Classics, especially with the Torch Red exterior and red and white leather interior. Who's going to (re)live the American dream?
