There are some images of the underside included and while it’s the color of Georgia clay with some obvious surface rust blisters, it doesn’t appear that the floors are rusted through. Yes, the interior is a bit ratty looking, the seats contain splits, the carpet looks like something either coming or going, there’s surface rust and dullness with the steering wheel trim and instrument panel, but it’s really not bad in the scheme of things. What? That’s the best you got? You should have seen my son’s when he was about ten – it would have put Dennis the Menance to shame. The seller quips, “ the interior looks like my kid’s bedroom“. Add all of that to the “Torch Red” finish, faded as it is, over a straight body and you have a winner in my book. Somewhat subjectively, what I like about this T-Bird is its later 312 CI V8 engine, the lack of fender skirts, no continental spare (a standard on the ’56 but still found, added to ’55s), the three-speed manual gearbox (as opposed to an automatic), and the portholes – another 1956 styling cue. This Ford two-seater is located in New Braunfels, Texas and is available, here on craigslist for $14,950. Some would say that all ’55-’57 Thunderbirds are desirable – OK, I can agree with that, but let’s look this one over and see what’s so special. There are several things that set this 1955 Ford Thunderbird apart from others and make it a more desirable baby bird.
