1955 Ford Thunderbird Navigation
One of the earliest collectibles among post-war cars is the two-seater 'Thunderbird' convertible. Ford stylists had been experimenting with the concept of a two-seater long before the mid-fifties, but sports car sales then accounted for only 27% of the total U.S. car market. In January 1953, GM introduced the Chevrolet Corvette and Ford was quick to respond. The car was named after the god worshipped by America's Southwest Indians as the bearer of rain and prosperity. The Thunderbird made its first appearance at the Detroit auto show in early 1954. With European style and American comfort, convenience, and power, Thunderbird proved to be a success and outsold the rival Corvette in the 1955 model year by a margin of 23 to 1.Source - SDAM
