Named for a California housing development and not a native American symbol, what became Motor Trend’s first individual Car of the Year in 1958?

It entered production for the 1955 model year as a two-seater sports car; unlike the superficially similar Chevrolet Corvette, the Thunderbird was never sold as a full-blown sports car. Ford described it as a personal luxury car, a description which named a new market segment.
