Ford Thunderbird, 1955, 1/43 scale diecast model car.  Ford needed to compete with the 1953 Corvette.  However, unlike the Corvette, the T-Bird came with a V-8 engine.  And it wasn't designed to be a true sports, although the engine and 2 seat set up hinted at it.  This model, by Dinky/Matchbox, has a removable hardtop and nice details.  This is a mint condition, displayed-only model and the original packaging and literature are included.
