Overview of 1956 Ford Thunderbird For Sale by Owner

Throughout the decades, Ford has produced some of the most innovative and noteworthy vehicles. One of these is the Ford Thunderbird, more commonly known by fans as the T-Bird. The T-Bird was a personal luxury car produced from 1954 to 1997, then revived in 2002 and produced until 2005. All these decades entailed the T-Bird to 11 generations of T-Bird models, but none is as sought after as the first generation, produced from 1955 to 1957. Up for the taking is a 1956 Ford Thunderbird in excellent condition with just 4,000 miles on it.

Exterior and Interior

The first generation Ford Thunderbird was produced in the convertible roadster form, such as this 1956 Ford Thunderbird example. The car has undergone multiple revisions throughout its life, and the seller reports a recent repaint in Baby Blue was completed. As a personal luxury car, the Thunderbird was all about comfort and making a statement with its two-tone color scheme, distinct taillights, and a plethora of chrome trimmings. The seller reports that the hardtop is included in the sale. While the car sits on a set of aftermarket wheels, the OEM wheels will also be given, as reported by the seller. The exterior color scheme flows into the interior with a blue and white finish. Typical of 60's era vehicles, the car features a single front bench in blue and white with vertical stitchings. The OEM steering wheel is done in blue and chrome, while behind it can be seen the speedometer flanked by the tachometer and the analog clock. The seller reports that air conditioning is available and in functioning order. The original radio player has been replaced with an upgraded unit believed to be from a later model Thunderbird. The interior also features pushbutton door handles and a telescopic steering wheel.

Engine

Typically a personal luxury car does not focus on power, but more on comfort, saying that this 1956 Ford Thunderbird is equipped with a more than adequate V8 powerplant coupled with a 3-speed Fordomatic automatic transmission. The seller reports that the power steering and power brakes are on board and functioning.
