(See Video)HISTORY:Offered here is a truly exceptional 1956 Ford
Thunderbird with an extraordinary backstory. Purchased BRAND NEW by
George and Peg Crockettfounders of Alamo Airways and owners of
Alamo Field, the original site of todays LAS VEGAS INTERNATIONAL
AIRPORT this Thunderbird was far more than just a stylish personal
car.Originally used as a high-speed support vehicle, it served a
critical role at Alamo Field, rushing supplies and, at times,
fire-fighting equipment to aircraft. The T-Bird also matched the
bold image of Alamo Airways, known for chauffeuring celebrities in
a V-16 Cadillac and hosting aviation legend Howard Hughes, a
personal friend of the Crocketts.Most notably, this Thunderbird
played a key role in one of aviations most remarkable records. In
late 1958, it was used to help keep a Cessna 172 Airplane aloft for
64 days, 22 hours, and 19 minutesa feat that still stands as the
world record for the longest continuous flight. When the
custom-built fuel tanker failed, George Crockett drove this very
car along a dry lakebed near Primm, Nevada, pacing with the
aircraft while passing five-gallon cans of gasoline up via ropea
true testament to ingenuity and determination.In 1967, the
Thunderbird was included in the sale of Alamo Airways to the worldy
famous Howard Hughes owner of Hughes Tool & Aviation Company . The
original Hughes Tool Company property tag still remains affixed to
the firewall. Hughes later sold the car to his personal pilot in
the mid-1970s.Since then, the car has remained in private
collections and has undergone a meticulous FRAME-OFF RESTORATION.
If youve traveled through the Las Vegas International Airport - you
may have seen this car as it was on display in the baggage claim
area. Today, it presents in stunning show condition, a rare blend
of historical significance, provenance, and beautifully restored
classic design.Here is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a
true piece of aviation and automotive history.NADA BOOK
