Ford retaliated to General Motors’s Corvette by introducing the  T-Bird. An immense success that oversold the Corvette by 24 to 1, what with those good looks and brute power. One of the examples at the museum sold 16 155 units. This blue car was specially made for a European Countess, therefore the speedometer in km's. In 1958 two more seats were added to make the car larger and not so hot anymore for sports car enthusiasts. Although the car sold for many more years the 55, 56, and 57 models are the ones that are  sought after collectibles.
