1955 Ford Thunderbird

Thunderbird was marketed as the "two-seat personal car" to counter Chevy’s Corvette.

The $2,944.00 T-Bird promptly trounced the `Vette in sales. Svelte good looks and a lift-off hardtop were two of the reasons. Buyers quickly ordered 16,155 examples.

Compare the 16,155 sales of 1955 Ford Thunderbirds to the 674 1955 Chevrolet Corvettes sold.
