Vehicle Description
This 1956 Ford Thunderbird has all the great features you love
about this instantly recognizable classic. The continental kit,
acres of chrome, long sleek sheetmetal, an effortless V8, and it
all comes at an affordable price for this icon.
This T-bird's factory-correct code-A Raven Black is like true
formalwear. In fact, the way the black combines with the whitewall
tires, this is like driving a tuxedo. But, of course, the
brightwork on these is the real showstopper. It has all the best
pieces you love, like the bullet-nose front bumper, wide mesh
grille, and factory wheel covers. Plus, T-bird people know to look
for the particulars, like how the exhaust still exits through the
rear corners of the bumper - a feature only found on a '56. The
continental kit was standard equipment to add trunk space, but
let's face it, today we seek out these ones because it's part of
this icon's true charm.
The black soft top is fresh and crisp, so it looks fantastic
against the exterior paint. But really, we all love these even more
with the roof down. That's because the factory-correct Flame Red
interior with white accents is the perfect addition of color - sort
of like a red rose on the lapel of this tuxedo. Style and luxury
were the true hallmarks of this classic, and that's why it had some
of the best options available. That includes power windows and the
power adjustable seat on this premium example. The moment you sit
down, you're surrounded in individual style with a machine-turned
aluminum panel that flows across the dash and onto both doors. This
frames many of the useful features like the heat/defrost controls
and the upgraded AM/FM/cassette radio whose retro-style doesn't
look out of place amongst the rest of the period-correct
presentation. Ford's intricate red and chrome factory steering
wheel feels great in your hands. Beyond that the backlit speedo is
flanked by a large tach and clock. In fact, they have gone to great
lengths to keep everything looking correct, right down to the trunk
pad.
The 312 cubic-inch V8 looks thoroughly original everywhere you look
- from the bright red block, to the coolant bag, to the iconic
Thunderbird logo valve covers. The V8 inhales deeply as the hood
scoop feeds a four-barrel carburetor. And the dual exhaust is
throaty enough to remind you of the power without sacrificing its
luxury stature. You'll love the two-speed automatic transmission
with overdrive, power brakes, and power steering, because they help
contribute to this convertible's everyday attitude. It's all part
of a package that Ford designed to deliver an easy-cruising status
symbol, and that has only been amplified as its vintage icon
reputation grows.
Complete with maintenance receipts, this is an enduring classic
that's in the perfect colors. So when it's also at such a nice
price, you know you have to hurry to take it home. Call
