Vehicle Description
With proper V8 power, iconic continental kit, and hallmark porthole
hardtop, the total appeal of this 1956 Ford Thunderbird is as clear
as black and white, literally.
This was born a Raven Black car, and you already know how desirable
that is. And the paint was refreshed later in life so that it can
still give off a nice shine today. One of the reasons why black is
so desirable is because it makes for the ideal backdrop to make all
the brightwork stand out even more. It helps show off the sporty
side with dual bullets on the front bumper, hood scoop trim, faux
side vents, and a rear bumper with integrated exhaust tips. And
this one really is complete, right down to the factory wheel
covers. But owning a first-gen T-bird is also about elegance.
That's why you have the continental kit on the rear, fender skirts,
and the ultra-desirable accessory hard top. And of course, no
classic presentation is complete without whitewalls.
The two-tone black and white interior coordinates with the black
exterior and whitewalls to give you a total package that's as
elegant as a tuxedo. So you'll love driving with the top down/off.
This has all the right classic details you love, like the
plexiglass speedometer, vintage steering wheel with Ford crest in
the center, and the machine turned panel that flows from the doors
and across the dash. There's an upgraded AM/FM digital tuner that
gives you a retro look, but a modern digital tuner. It's great for
listening to your favorite music on a top-down Sunday drive. And if
that journey turns wet, you have the folding top to keep out the
rain.
Under the hood is the "Thunderbird Special" 292 cubic inch V8,
which is believed to be the original to the car. It looks great
with the bold red block, pie dish air topper, and Thunderbird valve
covers. It also shows the right signs of good maintenance,
including a newer fuel pump, coil, and battery. It's a strong
runner, and you get maximum control over it all thanks to the
three-speed manual transmission. The consignor even claims the low
mileage odometer to reflect actual miles.
This is the T-bird with all the right look and pieces you want. So
you know you don't want this deal to slip away. Call today!!!
