Owned by one family since 1960, this 1956 Ford Thunderbird carries genuine American automotive heritage. Colonial White exterior adorns the clean, flowing shape that made the first-generation T-Birds famous. Chrome brightwork runs throughout the body, adding brilliant contrast against the white paint. The beige canvas convertible top folds down for open-air driving while the included removable hardtop offers all-weather versatility. A Continental kit extends the rear section, adding to the classic 50s aesthetic. The 15-inch wheels wrapped in 205/75R15 tires complete the external package with proper proportions and stance.
The red and white vinyl interior creates a bold two-tone look that Ford designers crafted for maximum visual appeal. The bench seat offers ample room for two passengers while maintaining the original design. Well-presented door panels flank the cabin while the dashboard houses clear, legible gauges that monitor vehicle functions. The floor shifter falls easily to hand for controlling the automatic transmission. An AM/FM cassette player provides audio entertainment during drives.
A 312 V8 engine gives this Thunderbird substantial power for highway cruising. The V8 connects to a 3-speed automatic transmission (C4) for effortless gear changes. A single 4-barrel carburetor manages fuel delivery while the dual exhaust system with aftermarket mufflers produces a rich exhaust note. Front suspension uses coil springs with shocks and a sway bar for improved handling, while leaf springs with shocks control the rear. Power drum brakes bring everything to a stop when needed. The factory rear end rounds out the drivetrain, creating a solid mechanical package for this classic Ford.
