Vehicle Description
There's a cool cruiser attitude to this 1956 Ford Thunderbird. It
was restored in 2008, and it has been under the same owner the
whole time since its completion. He's only put about 2k miles on
the car during that time and the rest is just proper garage care.
So everything from the factory-correct Fiesta Red to the V8 in the
engine bay has a clean and fresh style. Solid investments and good
care mean all the best details are looking terrific. So you'll love
the bright chrome, wire wheel covers, window speedometer, and
continental kit. Plus, there have been some nice updates that
solidify the cruiser feeling, including a supple custom interior,
upgraded suspension components, and extra pep from the motor. So
take a closer look at a fun and fresh iconic T-Bird.

Thunderbirds were made to own the boulevard in the 1950s, but this
one feels like it can also do it in modern times. The rebuilt
bored-over V8, thick Hotchkis sway bars (front and rear), and KYB
rear shocks are part of the right updates that keep this one
driving confidently without taking away from the vintage feeling on
the road. And the plush/supple feel of the interior just makes you
want to spend your whole weekend behind the wheel. So we like the
investments made here because they deliver a sharper-looking and
better cruising Thunderbird. So when your ideal open-top classic is
ready to run right now, why risk letting it go with someone else?
