Vehicle Description
1956 Ford Thunderbird for sale in Panama City, FL� 32404 � This is
a striking 1956 Ford Thunderbird.� The first-generation
Thunderbirds were some of the most iconic automobiles ever created
by Ford.� They came onto the scene in 1955 in direct response to
the Chevrolet Corvette and many European sports cars of the time.
The original concept looked a bit foreign and the actual production
model proved to be more American and luxurious. � This fine example
is just jaw-dropping.� It features the original shade of Peacock
Blue with matching blue and white interior, peacock blue hardtop
without porthole and white soft top. � Powering up this iconic
beauty is the original matching numbers 312 Cubic Inch Y-Block
mated to the 2-Speed Ford-O-Matic transmission which was very
similar to the Powerglide of the time. � This car had some great
options for that era, including a hood scoop, fender skirts, both
tops, Ford Master Guide power steering and Swift Sure Ford power
brakes. � Driving this car with the top down/off is like taking a
trip down memory lane. Most old cars from the '50's and '60's can
be cumbersome and difficult to drive but not this rare classic. One
turn of the key and the V8 comes to life and this car rides and
handles like a more modern car and is sure to get plenty of
attention on the road. � Garage kept for 35 years, new paint
(correct paint for this 1956 model), new chrome, new tires and new
carpet. The generator and carburetor have been rebuilt. Engine
includes the dress up kit and the hubcaps are wire style wheels.
Only 58,900 original miles on this beauty. � Own a piece of history
with this beautiful Thunderbird, a Collectors timepiece of
automobile history! � Hagerty Valuation $33,100-$77,200
