OVERVIEW
This 1956 Ford Thunderbird convertible received a fresh two-tone exterior finish in 2021 and underwent recent maintenance including a tune-up along with the replacement of the fuel tank, engine oil, starter, and battery under current ownership. It is powered by a 312ci Y-block V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission and is equipped with a continental kit and a set of wire wheels with newer whitewall tires. Finished in turquoise and equipped with a removable white hardtop over a turquoise and white vinyl interior, this first-generation Thunderbird is now offered with removed fender skirts and chrome trim pieces, a novelty parking sign, and a clear Washington title in the seller’s name.
EXTERIOR – FEATURES
The turquoise finish was applied two years ago to the reportedly rust-free exterior. The cockpit is capped off with a white removable hardtop with portholes. Exterior features include chrome brightwork, a hood scoop, front fender accents, a continental kit, and a dual exhaust system.
EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES
Wire wheels with American Racing-branded center caps are wrapped in newer whitewall tires.
INTERIOR – FEATURES
The two-seat interior is fitted with a vinyl two-tone turquoise and white bench seat that is reportedly free of any rips or tears, matched to the door panels, dash, and carpeting. The dash face has engine-turned aluminum trim. Amenities include carpeted floor mats, a newer push-button radio, a heater, and a patterned vinyl trunk mat.
INTERIOR – GAUGES
Instrumentation consists of a sweeping 150-mph speedometer, an 8K-rpm tachometer, a fuel gauge, and a coolant temperature gauge. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 21,329 miles, which the seller reports to be accurate.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
The 312ci Y-block V8 received a tune-up, an oil change, a replacement starter, a new battery, and an inspection in early 2023. The fuel tank and associated hoses have also been replaced under the seller’s ownership. Power is transferred to the rear wheels via a floor-shifted three-speed automatic transmission.
