Ford’s famous T-Bird was conceived in the Fifties, as an American Grand Tourer. But using that European designation wouldn’t do, so Ford created a segment name for it as well: Personal Luxury Car.

This Torch Red 1955 Ford Thunderbird from Roseville, California is one such example. With its two-tone interior, 292ci V8 and 12-volt electrical system, this is a fine classic to drive around in.
