Vehicle Description
The 1956 model is often the most sought-after of the original
first-gen T-Birds. 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. And as you look through the
details, keep an eye out for how this combines nice care and subtle
upgrades that keep this 1956 Ford Thunderbird an impressive
classic. For example, the interior has desirable factory features
like the working tach, telescoping steering column, and an optional
power seat. Plus, the retro-style AM/FM radio is well-integrated to
give you better music without taking away from the vintage
atmosphere. It's the kind of thoughtfulness you'll see throughout
this T-Bird.
