One of Ford’s most fondly remembered marques, the Thunderbird created what was called the Personal Luxury Car category when it launched for the 1955 model year. Ford was paying attention to the European segment of Grand Tourers, and wanted to give Americans a slice of that stylish and luxurious long-distance motoring experience. After all, America’s highways were being built and upgraded, and soon, the well-heeled would love to drive their own luxury car across the country, from posh hotel to posh hotel. So, the first-generation Thunderbird had a lot to live up to, and live up, it did. Coming in two-door, two-seat form, it of course had a V8 up front and the most luxury features that were prevalent at the time. Today’s 1956 Ford Thunderbird has been fully restored and boasts under 9,000 miles to its name. Furthermore, this Delaware-based car comes with the Continental Kit as well.
Exterior and Interior
This 1956 Ford Thunderbird wears a new coat of Raven Black paint, and complements it with a new white convertible top for a sleek and quintessentially Fifties outlook, replete with ample chrome. The car also includes its removable hardtop, albeit not painted, we’re informed. Long, low, and rolling on whitewall tires, this car is a symbol of Fifties opulence and will make a fine addition to anyone’s garage. The two-seat interior of this 1956 Ford Thunderbird comes with a black and white leather-upholstered and power adjustable bench seat, an Art Deco-styled dashboard, and an AM push-button radio. Just cast your eyes over that elegant interior, with its period instruments and simplistic outlook and you can see why such cars were the very spirit of motoring. Pop the trunk and you’ll be greeted by a suitably spacious cargo compartment, replete with a proper spare wheel instead of the fiddly compressor and filler kit that today’s cars force on you.
