In 1955, Ford rolled-out a stylish new body for their cars. They also continued to offer the "Y-block" V8 introduced the year before as a replacement for the legendary flathead engine. Of course, there was other big news for Ford in 1955. The stunning Thunderbird model debuted as what Ford called a "personal car". I'm not exactly sure what a personal car is (by Ford's thought process), but the new T-bird was definitely a popular, sporty coupe with luxury appointments. These early birds could practically serve as the face of the mid-fifties era as it relates to style. If you're ready to get to work on your 1955 Ford classic (T-bird or otherwise), this is definitive source.
