'57 Production Numbers by color

[dickday0]

Has anyone ever seen how many of each color was produced for each year? I always thought the majority of Tbirds were black (no idea why). Now that I look at the pictures of gatherings, I see very few black Tbirds.

Thanks

There are no factory records of the number of cars produced by color, just the total production of 16,155 for 1955. Originally the T-Bird was only available in Thunderbird Blue (T), Torch Red (R) and Raven Black (A). In mid-year of production two more colors were added: Snowshoe White (E) and Goldenrod Yellow (V). The earliest known date for the Snowshoe White Thunderbird was February 1955 and the earliest known date for the Goldenrod Yellow Thunderbird was April 1955.
