Introduced at Detroit in February 1954 and first available that October, the Ford Thunderbird was a stylish and well-equipped personal car offering a more sophisticated alternative to Chevrolets early Corvette. Low, sleek and sporty, the T-Bird included a powerful V-8 engine, available automatic transmission, removable hardtop and abundant standard and optional features. Confirming the Thunderbirds successful formula, 16,155 were sold for 1955, versus just 700 Corvettes. Mildly updated for 1956 and further refined for 1957, the Thunderbird saw sales rising to 21,380 cars for 1957, but it would be the last model year for the two-seat Thunderbird until 2002. Today, the original 1955-1957 Thunderbirds remain automotive and cultural icons, recently celebrated as part of a popular commemorative postage-stamp issue from the U.S. Postal Service.
