Ford's Thunderbird was created to act as a retort to the Chevrolet Corvette, but rather than becoming a rival to the European sports cars imported into the United States, Ford created a completely new market segment around the Thunderbird - the personal luxury car. While a performance car in its own right, the Thunderbird focused more on comfort than speed. A total of 53,166 units were produced for the three model years 1955-1957, with only 16,155 made in 1956. 1956 represented the introduction of two iconic Thunderbird styling features: the port window and the rear spare tire carrier. Both were the result of complaints from 1955 Thunderbird owners and potential owners, who needed more storage space in the trunk and wanted better rear vision when driving - Both are now historic classic styling touches in motordom. Other significant changes included; 12-Volt electrical system, New Thunderbird emblem design on exterior, Deep-dish 3-spoke safety design steering wheel, First year for front fender vents, Zippered rear window on convertible top (except early 1956 production), Port windows on hard top, Exhaust outlets in rear bumper ends, Round heater knobs, Rear spare tire carrier, Vented gas cap, Ford Lifeguard Design safety features, Wing windows on front door, Ridge under headlamp door.
