Style, class, elegance, fun, and speed; Just a few things the
legendary Ford Thunderbird is so well known for. Let's start out
with those last two and what makes the classic T-Bird so
entertaining to drive and own. Under the hood is the Y-block V8
that powered many of Ford's other products of the era, but this one
is a special high-performance Thunderbird variant featuring a
4-barrel carburetor and 312C.I. of displacement making a healthy
225hp when mated to the optional Ford-O-Matic transmission like
this example sports. Impressive numbers when compared to its GM
competitor. And of course, like all first-generation birds, the
hood scoop is functional. Now we can start talking about what
really set the Thunderbird apart from the Corvette: comfort. The
Thunderbird is a much easier and relaxing car to drive than the
'Vette, making for a much more enjoyable experience on long drives
that you'll surely be tempted to take this sweet Ford on. This
example drives and rides excellent. It's quiet, smooth, refined,
and still tons of fun when you push that accelerator pedal to the
floor! Power steering and power brakes help you keep control with
ease and safety. Another area in which the T-Bird excels in the
style department. Its lines are sleek and smooth, and the little
details give it that undeniably 50's flair. The 1956 model year was
the only one to come with the continental rear mounted spare
standard to make more trunk space. The white convertible soft top
is clean and in nice condition overall and operates smoothly. The
exterior is finished in bold and correct Peacock Blue and is
accented by beautiful chromework and nice wide whitewall tires. Hop
inside and you'll find a clean and comfortable matching blue and
white interior with chrome and machined aluminum accents as well as
a factory tachometer and Town & Country radio (as well as a more
modern radio for your convenience). Please feel welcome to visit
