1956 Ford Thunderbird convertible. Painted in Colonial White with a
distinctive dark peacock (more accurately turquoise) and white
vinyl interior, complete with a hardtop that fits snugly when
installed. 312 cubic inch V8 engine equipped with a four-barrel
carburetor paired with an automatic transmission, power steering,
and power brakes. Chrome and brightwork in good condition. The
vehicle includes several period-correct features such as wide
whitewall bias-ply tires, Ford wheel covers, power windows (both
functioning), wing windows for air deflection, and a Continental
kit on the rear. Slight discoloration on the paint below the
hardtop and in a couple of spots on the hardtop itself. Mechanical
updates include a new battery, replaced steering control valve,
hoses, and a slave cylinder. The brakes are in good condition with
90% front and 80% rear braking capacity, and the heater works.
Operating speedometer, and turn signals. However, the tachometer is
inaccurate. The car delivers smooth braking, and a refined road
feel given its classic 1950s design and competition with it's
contemporary sports cars.
