First production Ford Thunderbird sells for $600k


When Ford Motor Co. introduced the 1955 Thunderbird,it became known as the first “personal luxury car” – a sleek two-seater that stood out in a sea of big station wagons, coupes and sedans. For a certain Orange County family, one of these automotive icons has been as much a part of the family as Mom and Dad. And while all 16,155 of the vehicles made that model year are considered precious, theirs is ahead of them all: It’s the very first production model. (The first production Thunderbird, VIN# P5FH- 100005, was owned by George Watts of Orange, California.)
