Ford advertised the Thunderbird as a personal luxury car with the emphasis on comfort and it was fitted with a 292 cubic inch V8. In 1955 it outsold the Corvette with 16,155 Thunderbirds sold against 700 Corvettes. In 1956 the spare wheel was covered and positioned behind the boot (trunk) but this change spoilt the handling. Ford decided that a bigger car would get better sales so from 1958 it gained an extra row of seats and 1,000 pounds in weight.
Fantastic luxury interior for PD to model!
A very tasteful and desirable 1950's ride I'm sure you'll all agree!
