Vehicle Description
Finished in classic Torch Red, this 1956 Ford Thunderbird has the
kind of presence that belongs in the bright lights of the Strip.
The red hardtop with its iconic porthole, while the chrome
brightwork gleams like the polished rail of a high-stakes blackjack
table. Fender skirts stretch over the rear wheels, emphasizing the
sleek lines of this first-generation T-Bird, while 15-inch steel
wheels wrapped in period-correct 6.70-15 whitewall tires complete
the look. The Continental kit out back extends the profile, giving
it that unmistakable silhouette that once cruised past the neon
glow of the Desert Inn.
A red and white vinyl interior carries that same effortless cool
inside, a perfect blend of style and comfort that feels as tailored
as a Rat Pack suit. The bench seat welcomes driver and passenger
alike with classic tuck-and-roll stitching, while the matching door
panels and red carpeting keep the theme going. A factory-style dash
hosts the signature machine-turned aluminum trim, housing the
original gauge cluster and a vintage AM/FM cassette stereo. The
floor shifter is right where it should be, giving the cockpit a
sports car feel, while power windows add the kind of luxury that
made the Thunderbird a status symbol from day one.
A 312 cubic-inch V8 delivers power through a Ford-O-Matic 3-speed
automatic transmission, making this Thunderbird every bit the grand
touring machine it was meant to be. A factory-style intake and
Holley four-barrel carb feed the engine, while Thunderbird-script
valve covers add a polished look. Power steering keeps it easy to
handle, and a dual exhaust system gives it just the right growl
without being overbearing. Factory suspension components round out
the package, keeping the ride composed whether rolling down the
Strip or stretching its legs on the open road.
