Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is proud to offer this retro
lightly customized 1956 Ford Thunderbird in our Scottsdale, AZ
showroom. If you read the small hot rod and custom car books back
in the day, you'll instantly recognize how well the current owner
of this "Baby" 'bird nailed the look of a period-correct custom.
You'll notice the car's been lowered, rear skirts removed, the
continental kit that all '56 T-birds had from the factory is now
gone, the wide radial whites, the Olds Fiesta spinner hubcaps, and
the lakes pipes all tell the smiling onlooker that this is a car
from another era. Inside, the black and white tuck-n-roll interior
looks period-perfect, but the steering column and wheel bring a
modern touch to the interior. Seat belts assure the passengers
riding inside are securely fastened in whenever this beauty hits
the road. The radio is an AM/FM/CD so selecting your favorite
cruising tunes is a breeze. Under the hood, you'll see a newer
GM-style power steering pump and an aluminum radiator to keep the
Y-block cool. A modern Sanden compressor circulates the R134 freon
through the AC system to keep the passengers in this iconic
collector car cool and comfortable.The battery operates on a
cut-off switch to ensure that the power will always be there to
start it when you need it. The heart of all this is the
smooth-running 292-4V engine accessorized with Thunderbird
accessory valve covers and the chrome air cleaner. To see 100-plus
