The 1956 Thunderbird offered minimal changes from the previous
year, the most notable including a new rear bumper, a winged badge
on the nose, new taillights, front fender vents to keep the
passenger compartment cooler, new interior seat and door panels as
well as new exterior colors. Perhaps the most notable change was
the addition of the decorative mounting of the spare tire on the
rear of the car outside the trunk. Ford built 15,631 of the
two-seat Thunderbirds for the 1956 model year, including this
example finished in classic Raven Black over a white-and-black
interior. Nicely equipped, it includes power steering, power
brakes, power windows, power seat (not working) the highly
desirable Town & Country radio, rare factory air conditioning,
fender skirts, full wheel covers, wide whitewall tires and both
soft convertible and removable hardtop. In addition, a 1956 Ford
shop manual and owner's manual are included, as well as a stack of
maintenance records.

Like Corvette, Ford quickly learned that more power equated to more
sales. This Thunderbird is equipped with the newly optional 312
cubic inch V-8 producing 225 horsepower with a 3-speed Ford-O-Matic
automatic transmission. This was also the first year for the
12-volt electrical system. The engine bay is clean and is equipped
with the optional engine dress up kit that includes a chrome air
cleaner, chrome oil breather cap and cool finned aluminum
Thunderbird logo valve covers.
