Vehicle Description
While the 1956 Ford Thunderbird is already an irresistible icon,
when you're looking for a true all-around classic, you'll instantly
focus on this one. It has a great color combo, bright chrome, and
desirable features like the power seat and cold-blowing air
conditioning.
There's so much to love about a first-generation T-bird. It's
rolling elegance with the long flowing lines, rear fender skirts,
whitewall tires, and a hint of sporty style with a hood scoop and
afterburner tail lights. These showcased plenty of flair with loads
of brightwork, and you can tell there was a solid investment in
this example. And we love the 1956 car. While this was the second
year for the Thunderbird, it was when Ford delivered some of the
most iconic features. You see it with the continental kit on the
rear and the porthole in the hardtop. Plus, the trim tag tells us
this was born a Peacock Blue car, and it's one of those single-year
colors that you don't see too often.
The white hardtop looks stylish against the blue, and if you like
the look of this color combo, then you'll appreciate the similar
tone of the correct turquoise and white interior. The Thunderbird
was made to be a personal luxury cruiser, and so we like how this
one continues to have a driver-ready interior that's easy to use
and enjoy. That also means you get features like a power seat,
telescopic steering column, and upgraded retro-style AM/FM/cassette
stereo with CD changer. And cold-blowing conditioning always has a
big appeal in a drop-top that was made to cruise. And all the right
details are in place, like the working dash light, plexiglas
speedometer window, and the band of machine-turned trim that flows
from the doors and onto the dash.
The engine bay has a very honest, tidy, and correct style. The 312
cubic-inch V8 with a four-barrel carburetor on top is a versatile
set up to provide faithful power and good torque to keep this
convertible cruising down the road. The V8 accelerates smoothly,
and the confident shifts of the three-speed automatic really make
this a terrific classic cruiser. And power steering and a modern
treat behind the classic whitewalls add to this good driver
feeling.
The sale comes complete with a hardtop stand, a soft top, and a car
cover. This is the Thunderbird with a distinct style, desirable
features, and a hardy V8 heart. So you know you don't want to let
this one slip away. Call today!!!
