1956 Ford Thunderbird

This 1956 Ford Thunderbird is said to have been stored for approximately 20 years by its original owner before the car was purchased by its second—and current—owner in 2021. Subsequent refurbishment work involved retrimming the interior in black and white leather, replacing the tires, installing an aluminum radiator, and overhauling the fuel, braking, and suspension systems. Powered by a 312ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission, the Peacock Blue vehicle has a matching removable hardtop with porthole windows. Other equipment includes wheel covers, a Continental kit, fender skirts, drum brakes, an AM radio, and a tachometer. This Thunderbird is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with manufacturer’s literature, service records, spare parts, a car cover, and a clean California title in the owner’s name. The car was finished from the factory in Raven Black with a Colonial White removable hardtop with porthole windows (AE), and it has been repainted in Peacock Blue with a matching hardtop. Features include a Thunderbird nose emblem, a hood scoop, auxiliary parking lights, front-fender vents, a fixed antenna, a driver-side mirror, rear-fender skirts, rounded tail fins, and bright trim. The seller notes corrosion on the chrome bumpers.
