Overview of 1956 Ford Thunderbird For Sale by Owner

The Ford Thunderbird is an iconic sports car from the Blue Oval whose first generation epitomized the style of ’50s American car design. Ford called the Thunderbird “a personal car of distinction," and we can see why. Unlike its contemporary rival, the Chevrolet Corvette, the Thunderbird was more of a grand tourer in philosophy, prioritizing comfort over outright speed. Sales figures show that this was precisely what the American consumer wanted, with the first year of Thunderbird outselling the Corvette by a massive margin: some 16,000 to 670. For sale here is our 1956 Ford Thunderbird, with a 312ci V8 engine under its hood. It features the desirable hardtop with portholes that was introduced for the 1956 model year, as well as the standard softtop. With a reported 66,000 original miles, this American classic is reported to be in very original condition.

Exterior and Interior

The classic hue of the Sunset Coral exterior is perfectly matched with the whitewall tires fitted to this 1956 Ford Thunderbird. This ’50s convertible comes with the desirable Continental Kit, which relocated the spare tire from the trunk to the rear. This helps improve luggage space and adds a distinctive touch to the car’s exterior. Another desirable element of our featured car is the inclusion of a hard top with porthole windows, which was first introduced as a no-cost option for the 1956 model year. The owner reports that this Thunderbird’s interior and dashboard are original. It has a black soft top and a black-and-white interior. Another high-end feature that is reported to have been specified from the factory when new is this Ford Thunderbird’s original air conditioning.

Engine

Under the hood of this 1956 Ford Thunderbird lies a 312ci V8 engine fed via a four-barrel carburetor. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a three-speed transmission. Factory power steering further enhances comfort and ease of use. Plus, with just 66,000 miles on the odometer, this Ford Thunderbird is an exceptionally low-mileage example, as reported by its owner.
