Frank Sinatra’s 1955 Ford Thunderbird
This was one of the special cars at The Villages Cruise In this past weekend. Hope you enjoy the photos.
This car was owned by Capitol Records Company and bought specifically for Frank Sinatra on September 29, 1955 (I believe it is a 1955 model year Thunderbird). Shipped to the Fountainebleau Hotel ( Fountain Blue Hilton Resort Miami ), Miami Beach, FL October 3, 1955.
Used as a courtesy car for recording artist and movie stars, etc. it was sold in 1963 to Cecil Ford, of Miami Beach, FL

That is a nice 1955 T-Bird not a ’56

I am currently restoring Sinatra’s personal car “1956 Continental Mark II” which was purchased in November of that same year.
