1955 Ford Thunderbird Roadster Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Tour

[@swordfish1986]

One of the best looking and most tasteful american cars imo. The styling was not overdone like many other cars of that era, the whole car is just art from every perspective and the amount of details everywhere is astounding. It has a certain european touch to it, which maybe is why I'm liking it so much.

[@SpikedCollar666]

swordfish1986 it kind of looks like a Mercedes

[@matrox]

Pastel colors were quite popular in the mid to late 50s.

[@Z-Twinturbo]

we should bring em back

[@rexjolles]

Yeah in my grandma's house they'res a light yellow themed bathroom, and a light pink bathroom. In my house I have a pastel blue bathroom

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

About 1952-1965 roughly

[@josie8824]

This is the most beautiful car I've ever seen in my entire life. Incredible. Cherish it forever.

[@frankb4199]

This was wayyyyy ahead of its time..

[@millmill4993]

How

[@thatoneguy611]

Pretty typical 50’s characteristics

[@DerAdventurer]

Directly from the GOLDEN AGE of America, a proud survivor! What I mostly miss in the United States, currently, is that common though of "sky is the limit for happiness and achievement" people used to feed in 50s. I hope Golden Pride returns one day. Sincerely.

[@petergoldberg7509]

That window is pretty quick lmao

[@person9897]

Jon Muchwano huh?

[@AlexKravchenko-uo3ds]

If there was to be a TV series set in the mid '50s, about an Australian immigrant (played by me, being an Australian in real life of course), starting a new life in America, this would be the car he'd drive in that series, in light blue base colour, with a white roof. Arguably, the greatest thing to come out of Detroit in the mid '50s.

[@rexjolles]

Good job affording it! They were affordable, but maybe spring for a Sears Allstate or a Plymouth Savoy

[@theskipper1011]

The Thunderbird is awesome. Me and my dad are fixing up his '64. Thanks for the review.

[@ruddiestmanx5116]

Hope that goes well for you have fun. I’m fixing up a 91 Thunderbird super coupe

[@claytongivens1449]

I love the way he says interior

[@PetarVN]

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. in this case everyone's a beholder!

[@Snakebloke]

I'm in love, this thing is such a beaut'. One of the most iconic, classic cars ever made by in the USA. The good ole days. I'm British, so bear that in mind when I say that I am in LOVE with this American car...this is unusual for Europeans, to like US cars... :P

[@fluffymacaw933]

I miss the 50’s

[@rexjolles]

@@fluffymacaw933 yeah a great time. Unfortunately there were some issues with segregation, but it was pretty much in the south, up in the north most people didn't care. My great uncle was a hot rodder back then

[@732lover]

Damn those are some fast power windows!

[@keithburkhart9953]

what a beauty

[@MrCouchmen]

Mafia 2 brought me here.

[@CatcherOfBass]

Wow those wipers are state of the art.

[@HolidayTravelSaver]

A great resource for classic car lovers

[@CreedKing]

sweet ride to cruise around in

[@SuperSportSS]

Thats your opinion. Each generation is unique in their own ways.

[@Armin9529]

Mr Angelo? Mr. Salieri sends his regards.

[@Fertro]

You can keep your Lexus, your Mercedes and your BMW, I want this. Truly a gorgeous machine.

[@bichoorojo]

Smith Thunderbolt (Mafia 2) FTW!!!

[@bmwmsport11]

Man I love these old cars. The engine compartment is nice and clean. Sparks, engine, radiator and that's basically it. No other wires. Good video

[@rubenjacobo3919]

That car has beauty right there :DDDD

[@PedroSilva-yc4bu]

It is a beauty till you go to the gas pump several times...

[@fitz207]

As far as reliability is concerned, of course some things on modern cars are more reliable, but older cars were cheaper and easier to fix. I don't think cars being built today would hold up for 50+ years. About the 5 digit odometers, well you have to understand most people back then would buy a new car every 1 to 2 years.

[@philosophyoftrucking]

Every year?? Bullsh...

[@Explorersea]

I have a 56,,,,love the little Birds

[@bscross32]

i never knew that vehicles had power windows and seat controls back then. that's a sweet looking machine for sure!

[@XESwift]

Lovely car! True American classic

[@MrDude9804]

Saabkyle you make the best car review's.

[@gbling88]

Streetside Classics, the retirement home for classic cars :D

[@chromachan]

[@DIVADNOMIS1313]

One of the most beautiful cars ever made...

[@tarkancerci2567]

MR ANGELO MR SALIERI SENDS HIS REGARDS BANG!

[@greasemonkeypro.2792]

[@satanschild9294]

This is my dream car.

[@THUNDERFUCKII]

Ive been wanting to see a video on this since FOREVER I FREAKING LOVE YOU KYLE!

[@ChrisRKO1]

haha its funny because that "thin sheet metal that dents so easily" is what saves people lives today...

[@demoncatz5752]

That's one beautiful car.

[@floridaproductions]

Pretty car, very cool never seen one of these . All those thunderbirds even into the 60s had some cool mechanical stuff always going on ...

[@Cuseball121]

Wow. Such a beautiful car.

[@travisfalk1241]

Such a great beutifal car! I'm sitting in my dad's 1965 convertible mustang while watching this

[@lilPhil15]

Good looking car. My only pet peeve with it is the color.

[@gmwillm]

Great review! I'm happy to see this one!

[@Scott125670]

I'd love to still have cars like this today but with all the environmental and safety regulations it's hard to actually make something as nice as this T-Bird and all the awesome cars from the golden ages.

[@amberlynn6914]

Now THAT is a T-Bird

[@michaelgrey8258]

Very nice car. Very nice...

[@loganweks]

[@calebteague4028]

[@theflamingbullet5778]

[@javierlopez560]

[@BorisW150]

Another excellent review. Appreciate your attention to detail. The '55 T-Bird was a beautiful car but it is amazing how primitive these cars were compared to modern vehicles.

[@CBF1]

It looks like a palace car honestly. But isn't that how things were made in the 1950's? It's good that they had the style they did then. Modernity is nothing in comparison to the chrome streamlined style of the 1950's. Frigidaire Unimatic washing machines of that era looked just as spectacular. I myself own a 50's washing machine (1959 Hoovermatic 3174) which is very nice, and it does have it's fair share of steamlined 1950's architecture... not quite as much as American machines however because Hoover were Welsh and the UK didn't always make things quite as rich-looking as Americans did. Certainly not with appliances except for really my Hoovermatic, for it competes in a way that it does have a bit of rich 1950's streamlined achitecture on it. At the moment my washing machine is in pieces undergoing repairs to be able to wash again with minimal if any leakages. I think I now want a Thunderbird honestly in addition to a Model T. Especially in Turquoise and it must be one from 54 - 57. Stunning architectural design all the way around! Bring back more of the 1950's streamlining people!

[@dannya108]

What a beautiful car.

[@mitchman2100]

Those power windows don't fuck around lol. What a beautiful car!

[@MostlyBuicks]

3 transmissions: Three speed manual. Three speed manual with electric overdrive. And the Ford-o-matic which was a THREE speed in the 50s (in the 60s it was a two speed). The Ford-o-matic started out in 2nd gear under normal driving. If you went WOT it would kick down to low from a standing start .Or you could manually select low, then manually select drive. If you then went back into low, it would lock into 2nd gear until you selected drive again.

[@jeromebreeding3302]

The 3spd.Cruisematic was offered until 1962. A more budget all aluminum 2spd. automatic was offered in 59.

[@MrMoto1998]

Love how the exhaust is in the bumpers

[@gagadavid14]

GORGEOUS car

[@marajadeskywalker5992]

God I love that color my 57 Chevy has that color body paint with a white roof. Had her since my parents died

[@makh94]

beautiful machine :)

[@thatoneguy611]

This is the car that got me interested in cars

[@Voucher765]

Gorgeous ford and there used to be a plant up in Mahwah NJ that assembled these cars until closure in the 1980s.

[@52298Beebop2]

I love '50s cars. My favorite detail about them are the back headlights that resemble fins or wings.

[@ThatKidFlyy]

kyle can you make a video about the 2010 mercedes benz E350 sedan.No one has a full in depth video!

[@livingtrash24]

Saabkyle04 why don't you put the tops up on convertibles and show the process?

[@randomgamer5729]

[@PremierAutoMan86]

@saabkyle04 I noticed that you said "leaded" gas while you were describing the EPA figures what precisely is leaded and unleaded gas?

[@donisyahrial2237]
