GR Auto Gallery is excited to present this 1956 Ford Thunderbird for your consideration. Dressed in a classic black finish with a matching black soft top, this early American icon exudes 1950s elegance and charm. Its timeless proportions, fender skirts, and rear-mounted continental kit showcase the styling cues that helped make the Thunderbird an instant classic. Accented with Coker steel-belted wide whitewall tires and gleaming chrome details, this convertible turns heads wherever it goes.

Under the hood lies a strong-running 312ci V8 engine, mated to an automatic transmission, delivering smooth and confident cruising. This T-Bird has been thoughtfully upgraded for improved reliability and drivability, including a high-flow water pump, PCV conversion, PerTronix ignition with a Flame-Thrower coil, and a rebuilt and plated carburetor. The vacuum advance has been rebuilt, contributing to proper ignition timing and efficiency, while stainless steel brake lines add long-term durability.

Driving dynamics have also been enhanced with the addition of KYB shocks, Quikkor front and rear anti-sway bars, and front disc brakes-significant upgrades that improve ride quality, handling, and stopping power without sacrificing the car's original character. Whether you're cruising down a scenic road or attending a classic car show, this Thunderbird offers a refined yet powerful vintage experience.

Inside, the cabin features a stunning red and white leather interior that perfectly complements the car's black exterior. The seating, dash, and trim remain true to the 1950s aesthetic while offering a comfortable, inviting space for top-down motoring.

The 1956 model year is one of the most desirable among collectors due to its iconic styling and refined improvements over the first-year model. With tasteful upgrades and a beautifully preserved aesthetic, this Thunderbird is an ideal combination of vintage flair and modern drivability.
