With just 15,631 units built (the lowest of all three two-seat model years), this beautifully preserved example represents a rare opportunity to own one of America’s most desirable postwar classics.

Rare factory porthole hardtop
Original air conditioning system
Power steering and power front disc brakes
Power windows
Ford-O-Matic 3-speed automatic transmission
Striking Exterior Presentation:
Fiesta Red paint in excellent condition
Classic wire wheels with whitewall radials
Chrome accents gleaming against the vibrant red
Show-Quality Interior:
Two-tone red and white upholstery

Well-preserved original features throughout
Original owner’s handbook still in glovebox

Why This Thunderbird Stands Out:
Rarest production year of the two-seat T-Birds
Factory-loaded with desirable options
Beautiful color combination
Excellent preservation throughout
This first-generation Thunderbird offers the perfect combination of collectibility and drivability. As one of Ford’s most iconic designs, these early T-Birds continue to appreciate while remaining enjoyable on the road.
Don’t miss this opportunity to own a beautifully preserved piece of 1950s automotive history.
