Presenting a beautiful 1955 T-bird in Torch Red.  This is a great looking car inside and out.  It is not a perfect show car, but is one of the nicer cars you will find on the market.  The paint is in very good condition and the interior is also very clean.  There is very little wear showing on the interior as much of it has recently been updated.  It is a good running car that is fun to drive.  Below is a detailed description of this particular car.  Please feel free to contact Mark at 706-832-7737 with any questions or to schedule an appointment.
