This 1955 Thunderbird is part of the not-yet-documented "first 1000" VIN list. The gathering of information about this Thunderbird is of top priority to the Registry. The status "1955 First 1,000" is reserved for 1955 Thunderbirds which have a last-six of 101000 or lower, and are not yet visually documented. UPDATE Lars Kneller notified the Registry that he owns this Thunderbird. He says: It was repainted when new by the original owner. He was CEO of Chicago Iron and Bridge Works, and painted it their corporate dark green. I plan to return it to its original color when I restore it. I bought it about a month ago (after chasing it for several years) from the family of the original owner. I find the basic Ford dog dish hubcaps interesting. I doubt one would remove Tbird hubcaps and put on generic Ford ones. The car, other than the paint, is all original. It has minimal to no rust, so it must not have been used in the winters. Odometer reads 24,xxx miles. It hasn't run in years. I am looking forward to learning more about the car.
