"Restored T-bird that runs perfectly and gives a very good impression both inside and out."

Description

The car arrived in Sweden in 2017 and was in need of restoration. The current owner purchased it in 2019 and began the restoration process. All rust was welded, and the car was thoroughly checked mechanically. It was repainted, and the interior was reupholstered by a well-renowned firm in Kallinge. The restoration was completed, and the car was inspected in 2023, having been driven only sparingly since then.

Facts about the model

The Thunderbird was developed as a competitor to Chevrolet’s Corvette. The first series, from 1955 to 1957, was slightly smaller and a two-seater roadster. The car sold very well, but the market also demanded a car with a small back seat and larger trunk. As a result, the Thunderbird evolved from a roadster into a GT touring car and became even more popular. The model was also somewhat larger and more luxurious than the Mustang, which Ford would introduce a few years later. This T-bird model is one of the truly elegant classics among American cars before the muscle car era began in the mid-1960s.
