Vehicle Description
Up for sale in our Detroit showroom is this beautiful 1956 Ford
Thunderbird. This 1956 Ford Thunderbird is powered by a numbers
matching 292 CID V8 motor followed by a Ford 3-speed manual
transmission. In 1956 this Thunderbird came with a 292 CID V8 that
a year later became the Thunderbird's standard engine, and produced
202 horsepower to compete with the Corvette. The 1956 Ford
Thunderbird is dressed in Peacock Blue paint, wide style white wall
radial tires, a set of Thunderbird hub caps, and the matching
Peacock and White vinyl interior to set off the car. In 1956 Ford
made a very noticeable change by moving the spare tire to a
continental-style rear bumper, which gave you more storage room in
the trunk giving it more room and a new 12 volt electrical system.
In 1956 Ford also made an optional porthole in the removable roof
which was selected by buyers. The Ford Thunderbirds interior is
first class with beautiful blue vinyl seats, AM/FM radio, and a
custom center console. Other Options include: hub caps, Coker
Classic wide white wall tires, and continental spare tire kit.
Also, this Thunderbird comes with both the hard and soft
convertible tops. This is a great original Ford Thunderbird that is
ready to cruise the road with the top down, no matter the day this
car brings a smile and that old cruising feel of 1956. To view this
one of a kind Thunderbird in greater detail, including an HD video,
