Power comes from a V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission and fitted with an Edelbrock carburetor. Dual exhaust and aluminum Thunderbird Ford valve covers add to the car s period-inspired presentation.

The Midnight Blue finish is complemented by extensive chrome trim and period-style wheels.
Inside, the cabin is finished in black with red seat and carpet accents and equipped with a dash-mounted Equus tachometer, auxiliary Equus oil/water gauges. The dashboard retains its distinctive mid-1950s design, with a central speedometer, analog clock, chrome-trimmed instrument panel, and three-spoke steering wheel. Power windows and straightforward controls keep the cabin true to the character of the original Thunderbird.
With its first-year styling, V8 engine, automatic transmission, removable hardtop, and unmistakable 1950s Ford design, this Thunderbird offers a look at the beginning of one of Ford s most recognizable nameplates and is mechanically sound. For $19,950
