When America fell in love with Thunderbird back in 1954 was a lively two-seater. However, the Ford Thunderbird has continued to evolve in different segments of the auto market through its lifetime and miles of products. Yet nothing seems to hold T-Bird fans attention and rapt attention to the original 1955 "bird ".
"Thunderbird" is undoubtedly a fine name for a motor vehicle, with connotations of power, the flight with just a hint of mystery. However, Ford Thunderbirds is a truly American car tags and labels, the icon as a magical one for the Pueblo Indians of the south-western United States. This is more than appropriate, because "T-Bird" was and still remains a bit herself an American car that illustrate over him more than 50 years, most of madness, as well as the many benefits of this breed.
Every story on Thunderbird starts with the idea that the car was conceived as an "answer" to the Chevrolet Corvette. That's not entirely true, for both designs developed in response to increasing demand in the post-war American market for cars with more style and performance, the best cars marked a stunning Jaguar XK120.
Birth T-Bird certainly hastened the introduction of the Corvette. One story among many believe that Louis D. Tourism, vice president of design for Ford and George Walker then design consultant for the company saw a prototype of the Corvette at the Paris Motor Show 1953rd Crusoe said that he liked Walker and Walker replied that "We have something similar going on." As with most innovations of mankind innovations often dreamed of by any one person or group, but often, the number both in the case of the Chevrolet design centers, and the Ford.
Billy Boyer, who has worked at the Ford Design Center in Dearborn, Michigan, picked up the story. "That same evening Walker called our design studio in Paris with instructions to" put some clay in this thing "and build that car." That phone call, gave us instant power, "said Boyer, who at that time was a senior designer at the UN, but the name of the project car.
Boyer's boss, Frank Hershey says otherwise. Quoted by Dennis Adler in "Car collectors' magazine some time ago, Hershey said that he and Boyer had worked out the design, but the Production Planner Chase Morsey actually personally selling Ford management of the project.
In any case, the prototype appeared on February 20, 1954 in Detroit Auto Show in thunderous praise, although it can be said that at this moment the car is "nameless ".

...After a very short final blow to Ford, the first T-Bird out line 9 September 1954, as 1955 model.Dvosjed drop head coupe had a total length of 175.3 inches (445 cm (and weighed in at 2833 pounds (1285 kg). that these dimensions make it the smallest Ford to be built in the last few decades certainly says a lot about American cars that period since 1950.
