My Favorite Car Stephanie Perrins COMM 115A Prof. Keating February 16, 2012

1955 Ford Thunderbird

 Was considered to be a competitive concept car to the Chevy Corvette  The Corvette was developed around the same time  Not too many were produced during the first year  Only 16,000 were made  Had all of the parts that guys were looking for  V8 engine capable of going up to 120 mph  Original cost: $2, Information on Car

Comparison between 1 st and 11 th Generations Ist Generation  Considered to be a true American classic  Seen in such movies as Grease  Has a distinct look to it 11 th Generation  Not as desired as the original  Sales were not as high with this model

 My Grandfather owns this car  Same year and model, but different color  It was the first car that I drove when I was 16  I like the look of antique cars  They have that certain edge that newer cars do not  It comes in my favorite color: baby blue My love for the Thunderbird

There’s nothing like the Classics
