Bathing in a sun-kissed yellow and accentuated with silver trim, it's as if this 1955 Ford F-100 Custom decided to dress up in its Sunday best every day of the week. Sporting 18" Showwheels Streeter rims wrapped in 235/60R18 Nexen at the front and 265/60R18 at the rear, it stands proud, ready to command the roads. The bed, a masterpiece of craftsmanship, showcases real wooden planks that offer a striking contrast to the modernity of its mechanical prowess, marrying the utility of yesterday with today's aesthetic sensibilities. The addition of a sporty clamshell-style front hinge hood, tri-bar blue dot headlights, and Ford insignia blue dot tail lights complement the deletions of the vent windows, creating a silhouette that's both vivacious and forward-thinking.  Inside, this classic Ford is a black leather haven, detailed with a finesse that speaks volumes of its custom-built interior. The seats in supple black leather, the thoughtful inclusion of a console with cup holders that also houses an AM/FM Bluetooth sound system, exude comfort and sophistication. Adding to this rich tapestry of modern meets classic is the air conditioning system ensures the cabin remains a cool refuge on those blistering summer days. The tilt column with a custom steering wheel, coupled with VDO classic style gauges, merges functionality with style, creating an environment where every moment behind the wheel is a celebration of past and present.  Underneath its stylish clam-shell hood, the F-100 roars to life with a 351 Windsor V8 engine, mated to a 3-speed automatic C6 transmission. The power is delivered smoothly, thanks to power steering upgraded to a rack and pinion setup, and stopping is no issue with power front disc brakes. The symphony of the engine's rumble is played through Flowmaster dual exhausts, amplified by Hedman Headers, ensuring that this truck moves and it sings.

*1955 Ford Thunderbird*Going on sale in 1955, the Thunderbird was Ford's answer to the recently released Chevrolet Corvette as a formidable rival in the two seat sports car class. Designed as a grand touring coupe, the Thunderbird was intended to shuttle its occupants down the road in comfort, at speed and in style-and it beat the contemporary Corvette in each of those areas. This first year, 1955 Thunderbird is the embodiment of what made them great- from the color choice to the options selected- and is the perfect companion for top down summer cruising. For the first model year of the Thunderbird, the P-Code package was the only engine option available- a punchy 292ci V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor sitting atop it. This engine provided 193 horsepower which was almost identical to the newly introduced V8 in the Corvette and could be paired to an automatic or 3-speed manual transmission. This car was outfitted with the Ford-O-Matic 2-Speed automatic transmission which is known for smooth shifting and being quite reliable and power brakes to help stop the car more easily.The exterior of this Thunderbird is painted in the quintessential shade of Thunderbird Blue. A striking hue of turquoise, this is one of the signature Thunderbird colors and looks absolutely fantastic on the car. A unique option that this Thunderbird was fitted with is the Continental Kit in the rear- an extended bumper with a spare tire covered in a color matched casing on the back, this feature looks exceptionally cool and is known for being quite desirable to collectors. All of the wheels including the spare in the Continental Kit are fitted with Kelsey Hayes wire wheels and white wall tires which give the car an upscale, vintage look. Another Thunderbird signature that isn't seen on most cars is the rear wheel skirts that make the car look lower and sleeker and when paired with the chrome headlight eyebrows, does wonders to complete the overall aesthetic of the car. All Thunderbirds of this generation were convertibles and the black top on this example looks fantastic- with tight fitting fabric and beautiful clear rear window. The car is also available with a removable hardtop which is color matched but has not been restored along with the rest of the car.As the Thunderbird was intended as a grand touring vehicle, the interior is really where it shines- and this example is no exception. The two-tone turquoise and white interior presents fantastically and, when combined with the turned aluminum trim along the dashboards and door panels, provides an exciting cockpit to be in. In front of the driver is a full suite of gauges featuring a 150-mph speedometer, tachometer and clock and the2-spoke turquoise steering wheel looks and feels great in the hands. At the time, the Thunderbird was available with numerous luxury features that could only be found on much higher end cars, and this example features a number of them. Power adjustable seats and power windows were not a common feature at this time- and compared to the contemporary Corvette with its side curtains- was an exceptionally nice place to be. The steering column is telescoping to aid in driver comfort and the AM Radio in the dash looks great but needs a bit of servicing before being used. Overall, the style available in this era of Thunderbird is unparalleled and makes for a fantastic conversation piece anywhere you go in it. Benefiting from an older restoration, this Thunderbird has been used and enjoyed and is ready for its next owner to slide behind the wheel, put the top down and enjoy the ultimate 1950s American sports car.*Key Features*  * 292ci V8 Engine    * Engine Dressup Kit  * Automatic Gearbox    * Ford-O-Matic Transmission  * Continental Kit  * Rear Wheel Covers  * Kelsey-Hayes Wire Wheels    * Wide White Radial Tires  * Dual Rear View Mirrors  * Power Seat  * Telescopic Steering Column  * Color Matched HardtopWatch a Walkaround Video Here...*Standard Features*  * Pleated Vinyl Upholstery  * Variable-Intensity Illuminated Control Knobs  * Automatic Courtesy Light on Instrument Panel  * Rear View Mirror on Windshield Upper Molding  * Dual Horns  * Deep-Center Lifeguard Steering Wheel  * 2-Inch In-Out Adjustable Telescoping Steering Wheel  * Tachometer  * Electric Clock with Sweep Second Hand  * Cigarette Lighter and Ash Tray  * Glass-Fibre Top (with or without Port Windows; no charge)  * Lifeguard Door Latches  * Lifeguard Rear View Mirror  * Exterior Rear View Mirror (Driver's Door)  * Cowl Side Vents  * Glass Wind DeflectorsFor more information on this 1955 Ford Thunderbird, or any of our other luxury and high-performance sedans always in stock, please contact our friendly and knowledgeable sales team, or always feel free to stop by our Bellevue, WA Park Place Ltd campus - Where we have over 40,000 sq ft of indoor showrooms filled with the finest cars.

Blue

Fairlane

Here's your chance to get your hands on something rare, beautiful, and exceptionally interesting. This 1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria made up only about 5 percent of total Fairlane production. And while it was already hard to find another one, we bet you'll be one-of-a-kind in this one.  You not only have a beautiful vintage exterior, but you're going to spend a ton of time showcasing the full custom A/C interior.  And with a great driving attitude you'll be showing this unique Ford off everywhere.    Rarity and distinction are at the heart of this cruiser.  The trim tag tells us the Regency Purple and Snowshoe White is the factory-correct two-tone. We can't recall the last time we've seen a Ford in this lilac-like hue, but it's unforgettable for its terrific gloss and smooth feel on this well-restored coupe.  And the creamy white is given a well-defined separation that's to Fairlane's sweeping side trim. And on a body this well done, it looks like an almost unbroken line running down the profile.  But what you'll really love is how only the Crown Victoria has brightwork that goes over-the-top (literally) with a band of chrome on the B-pillar that visually separates the front and rear passenger compartments.  Wraparound chrome bumpers, whitewall tires, fender skirts, and jet-inspired tail lights make for a great vintage total package. But those polished exhaust tips hint at something fun under the hood (more on that in a moment.)  The interior is a comprehensive custom style.  After all, the 1950s were known for great colors, but even back then there wasn't anything as vibrant as this.  The purple and white two-tone is inspired by the exterior color theme, but it has a freshness that tells you it's a newer addition from the restoration.  And you'll love the details, like the right sticking pattern and the white piping on the purple carpeting.  There are nice features for easy cruising like a cup holder center console and cold-blowing air conditioning.  Plus, the banjo-style sports steering wheel, Hurst shifter, and well-bolstered front bucket seats make for a better driver's classic.  Even with all these upgraded features, you can still get the right classic details - including the plexiglass window speedometer. If you haven't already figured out the color theme, the stitching on the center console tells you this has been inspired by the colors for TCU.  But you don't need to be a horned frogs fan to enjoy this Crown Vic.  After all, it doesn't take much to replace the TCU logos.  So even a Baylor fan can appreciate the rare/correct exterior color combo and the interior's coordination.    It's nice to see a Ford get upgraded in the engine bay while still keeping the power in the blue oval family.  This is a correct-style 292 cubic-inch V8.  It's said to be internally built for better power and modern times with a .030 over kit, milled heads, hardened valve seats, crankshaft turned .010 under, and given an Isky .425 lift cam.  This inhales deeper with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with added power and authority as Red's headers feed the dual exhaust.  It also has good supporting components, like Offenhauser finned valve covers, an MSD ignition system, and an aluminum radiator with electric fan.  This V8 fires up readily, and you are in complete control of the V8's power and soundtrack with the four-speed manual transmission.  And there's an overall easy cruising attitude with power front disc brakes and sway bars front  rear.    This is the kind of cool custom that will get you a prominent parking placement no matter if it's a car show or a TCU game.  So if you love a full custom that was made to cruise, call day! 

4335-NSH 1955 FORD THUNDERBIRD Gleaming in its Raven Black coat, this 1955 Ford Thunderbird is a canvas of vintage Americana, its glossy exterior broken only by the crisp white of the convertible canvas top. Riding on 15-inch wheels shod with 6.70-15 tires, it mirrors a monochrome era yet stands out in the modern age. The integration of factory-style chrome and trim adds a subtle yet impactful dazzle, reminiscent of a classic black-tie affair-sophisticated yet inviting. Inside, the Ford Thunderbird flaunts a white vinyl bench seat with black trim, creating a striking visual harmony that appeals to lovers of clean, classic lines. The floor shifter adds an old-school touch, enhanced by auxiliary gauges nestled discreetly under the dash. AM radio tunes can fill the cabin, offering a melody to the drive without overshadowing the simple, restored to stock elegance of the Thunderbird's interior.

The dual exhausts, routed through the rear bumper, add a whisper of rebellion, while the chrome hubs shine like the bright Vegas lights, promising adventures on the open road.  Slide behind the wheel and the red interior welcomes you with a mix of nostalgia and modern convenience. Red and white vinyl upholstery covers the bench seat, offering a striking contrast that's as eye-catching as it is comfortable. The Hurst shifter stands ready for action, hinting at the power under the floor shift, while the Grant steering wheel and Sniper EFI display add a contemporary touch to the classic cockpit. Power windows and an electric wiper system bring a touch of modernity, and the dash, with its aluminum accents and aftermarket Sunpro gauges, retains the Thunderbird's original charm while providing all the necessary information for a spirited drive.  Under the hood, the 312 V8 engine, enhanced with Holley Sniper EFI and an Isky cam, roars to life with a simple turn of the key.

Please email  or call 1-*number in the description*  About the T-Bird:  Ford Thunderbird (colloquially called the T-Bird) is a nameplate that was used by Ford from model years 1955 to 1997 and 2002 to 2005 for a personal luxury car during which there were eleven distinct generations. Introduced as a two-seat convertible, the Thunderbird was produced in a variety of body configurations. These included a four-seat hardtop coupe, four-seat convertible, five-seat convertible and hardtop, four-door pillared hardtop sedan, six-passenger hardtop coupe, and five-passenger pillared coupe, with the final generation designed again as a two-seat convertible.  Ford targeted the two-seat Thunderbird as an upscale model, but the design introduced for 1958 featured a rear seat and arguably marked expansion of a market segment eventually known as personal luxury cars. An American interpretation of the grand tourer, personal luxury cars were built with a higher emphasis on driving comfort and convenience features over handling and high-speed performance. From 1968 to 1998, Lincoln-Mercury marketed rebadged variants of the Thunderbird as the Continental Mark III, Mark IV, Mark V, Mercury Cougar, Lincoln Mark VII, and Lincoln Mark VIII.  Introduced in February 1953 as a response to Chevrolet's new sports car, the Corvette, which was publicly unveiled in prototype form just a month before. Under rapid development, the Thunderbird went from idea to prototype in about a year, being unveiled to the public at the Detroit Auto Show on February 20, 1954. It was a two-seat design available with a detachable glass-fiber hardtop and a folding fabric top. Production of the Thunderbird began on September 9 of that year, with the car beginning sales as a 1955 model on October 22, 1954.  Though sharing some design characteristics with other Fords of the time, such as single, circular headlamps and tail lamps and modest tailfins, the Thunderbird was sleeker in shape and featured a hood scoop and a 150 mph speedometer not available on other Fords. It utilized mechanical components from mass-market Ford models. The Thunderbird's 102" wheelbase frame was a shortened version used in other Fords and the standard 292 CI Y-block V8 came from Ford's Mercury division.  Though inspired by, and positioned directly against, the Corvette, Ford billed the Thunderbird as a personal car, putting a greater emphasis on the car's comfort and convenience features rather than its inherent sportiness. The Thunderbird sold exceptionally well in its first year. In fact, the Thunderbird outsold the Corvette by more than 23-to-one for 1955 with 16,155 Thunderbirds sold against 700 Corvettes. With the Thunderbird considered a success, few changes were made to the car for the 1956 model year. The most notable change was moving the spare tire to a continental-style rear bumper to make more storage room in the trunk and a new 12-volt electrical system. Among the few other changes were new paint colors, the addition of circular porthole windows as standard in the fiberglass roof to improve rearward visibility, and a 312 CI Y-block V8 rated at 215HP when mated to a 3-speed manual transmission or 225HP when mated to a Ford-O-Matic 2-speed automatic transmission; this transmission featured a "low gear", which was accessible manually via the gear selector. When in "Drive", it was a 2-speed automatic transmission (similar to Chevrolet's Powerglide). The Low gear could also be accessed with wide open throttle. 1956 was also the year Ford added their new lifeguard safety package.
