Gateway Classic Cars of Houston is proud to offer a gorgeous fire
engine red 1956 Ford Thunderbird. There's some truth in the fact
that some things are just done right the first time around. In the
case of the Ford Thunderbird, it doesn't get much better than the
first generation. Between 1955 and 1957 the Thunderbird was a small
2 seat roadster which was comparable to the Chevrolet Corvette. The
car has been repainted about 2.5 years ago in the fire engine red
you see and it contrasts very well against the white top & two-tone
black & red vinyl interior. The cars exterior shows very well with
the red glossy paint that gleams in the lights and really looks
great out in the sunshine. The bumpers, trim, glass, continental
kit on the rear, fender skirts, & the hard top are all in great
condition. No dents, dings, or rust to be found on the car. This
pretty 56' Tbird is equipped with the larger more sought after
larger 312 CID V8. The small block V8 runs very well & sounds
healthy through the powerband, it is paired to a 2-speed power
glide automatic transmission that shifts well. The engine is
believed to have been rebuilt at some point in its life as it runs
very smoothly. The engine compartment is nicely finished and could
easily be displayed at a car cruise. Looking at the interior you'll
see the multicolor combination of the black & red seats with the
silver & black dash & door panels. They are in excellent condition
and it looks great. Don't see this color combo on too many
Thunderbirds. With new dash controls, new seat belts, new Vintage
AC system that blows cold, you will be ready to hit the road in no
time! It sits on steel wheels with chrome hubcaps and sports white
wall tires. This one also has plenty of options: power steering,
power brakes, power seats, power windows, continental kit,
removable hard top, and even air conditioning. This one has a on
the rear to house the spare tire. This restored classic is the
perfect for summertime cruises and weekend getaways. You can see
this 1956 Ford Thunderbird in greater detail in our Houston
showroom or at www.GatewayClassicCars.com. Please contact
