Classics 1956 Ford Thunderbird Convertible

Why This Car Is Special

The Ford Thunderbird was a rear wheel drive automobile which was manufactured by Ford in the United States over eleven model generations from 1955 through 2005. The Thunderbird created a market niche that eventually became known as the personal luxury car.

We have a complete frame off restoration of a 1956 Ford Thunderbird here at Skyway Classics that is in gorgeous original color of Colonial White with the white interior with black trim and the white Porthole hardtop.
