Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to digitally present
this exceptional 1956 Ford Thunderbird Convertible, a true survivor
that embodies the spirit of mid-century American luxury and
performance.
Finished in its factory green paint with a matching green interior,
this Thunderbird stands as a remarkably preserved example of Ford's
first-generation personal luxury roadster. The originality
throughout - from paint to trim - showcases decades of care and
pride in ownership.
Powering this classic is the desirable V8 engine paired with an
automatic transmission, delivering smooth acceleration and
confident cruising manners. Known for its balance of style and
drivability, the 1956 model also introduced functional side vents
and a rear-mounted continental kit - both instantly recognizable
design cues.
This example is loaded with factory-style amenities, including
power steering, power brakes, power windows, and a power seat,
ensuring comfort behind the wheel. The manual convertible top lets
you enjoy open-air motoring, while the AM/FM radio keeps the
soundtrack classic.
Inside, the leather seating surfaces and chrome-accented dash
preserve the Thunderbird's unmistakable 1950s character. Completing
the look are the wide whitewall tires and classic wire wheel covers
that define the car's timeless silhouette.
This is not just another restored Thunderbird - it's a genuine
one-owner, original-paint survivor, an increasingly rare find that
tells its story through authenticity rather than restoration.
This 1956 Ford Thunderbird Convertible can be seen at the St. Louis
Showroom located at 1237 Central Park Drive, O'Fallon IL 62269.
