Details
Perhaps the most exciting news for the 1955 model year was the introduction of Ford's new high-spirited two-seater roadster - the Thunderbird. Production began on September 7, 1954, and the debut date was October 22, 1954. Airman Wallace Kirkman, stationed at Lowery Air Force Base, purchased his brand-new sports car from Skyland Motors. The original car invoice date was November 9, 1954. On December 13, 1954, Kirkman was transferred to Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas until his discharge in
1961. Arizona Motor Vehicle Department records indicate the car has been registered from 1962 through the present in Arizona. The first run of Thunderbirds was loaded with the desirable N-20 package, which included power everything and all the top-of-the-line convenience options. Notable options include an in-dash tachometer, clock, 150mph speedometer, telescopic steering wheel, wide white wall tires, folding soft top and detachable hard top. This T-bird has undergone a comprehensive, frame-off restoration. It's powered by a 292ci V8 and automatic transmission. This is a car of significance due to it being documented by the Thunderbird Club as the longest one owner Thunderbird as well as the earliest on the list.
