We will start off with the exterior of this Thunderbird. The body
on it is all solid and it has excellent fit of all the panels. Down
the sides and we can see that it has excellent gaps. It's showcased
by the Diamond Blue color scheme that is accented by the White Soft
Top. The paint has been kept polished up to a beautiful finish
that's slick to the touch. The top is in excellent condition and as
we can see it easily comes off and goes back on. Up front we can
see that the bumper has a brilliant shine along with the grill. Out
back the rear bumper is equally impressive, and it has the
continental kit. You can also see that the taillights and bezels
are beautiful as well. All the glass in this Ford is in excellent
condition along with all the seals and the weatherstripping. To
finish off the exterior it's sitting on the factory style steel
wheels with the correct Hub Caps and a set of White Wall Tires.

done in the two tone Blue and White Color Combo that flows
perfectly with the exterior. The door panels are both in excellent
condition along with all the hardware. This Thunderbird features
the bench seat that's done in the two-tone cover. We can see it's
in great condition along with all the padding and springs. This
Thunderbird has the floor shift Automatic. Looking at the dash we
can see how well this car has always been cared for as it's
stunning. All the trim has a brilliant shine and lines up near
flawlessly with the doors. The factory gauges are in great

Finally, we will get to the driveline of this Ford. It's powered by
the 312 V8 engine that looks like it would have when it came home
from the dealership in '56. It's setup with the factory ECZ 9425 A
intake and Holley Teapot 4 Barrel Carb. We can see that it's
dressed in the original Thunderbird valve covers along with having
the factory air cleaner. The engine bay is all neat and clean from
the inner fenders to the firewall. For exhaust it has manifolds
with stock style Mufflers and dual pipes that exit out the back.
This V8 is mated to the Fordomatic Transmission and Dana 44 Rear
End. When we look under this Thunderbird you are sure to be
