Where can I get the right size 6 volt battery for my 1955 T-Bird?
Advance Auto carries them but there is no store within 100 miles.
Thanks!

try sears

I tried Sears...not available.

I would think any farm store would carry them. I think its called simply a group one six volt. Same up to 55 in a Ford pickup.

If you have one, try Tractor Supply Center. They have a lot of different sizes, I got the exact fit battery for my '41 Buick, it's an Exide and they had it in stock, under $100 exchange.

Rural King carries two sizes of 6volt batteries. I am using the smaller one in my '55 but the larger one would have fit the battery case perfectly. Don't know if T-Bird battery is physically different shape though

Thanks guys...looks like Tractor Supply Co. carries an Exide that will fit

We keep them at our Napa store.

Batteries Plus store

Bingo! Found one at our local NAPA store

hoss73ford · 01-31-2015, 02:07 PM

NAPA's a good bet. My NAPA store carries the 12 volt Group 29 battery for my Edsel at about half the cost the antique battery shops charge.

I bought my last 6 Volt Battery from Caterpillar. They are heavy duty and provide plenty of cranking power. They are CAT Brand, so are very reliable.
