Ford Thunderbird 1956 1956 for sale

ford thunderbird 1956 Classic Car Design presents this rare and iconic 1956 Ford Thunderbird. The model was born in 1955, not aiming to compete with pure sports cars, it positions itself as a competitor to the Chevrolet Corvette. At that time, every year the style changed, 1956 is the only year the car is equipped with the continental kit and the famous porthole on the sides of the hard-top. On the outside, the blue shade leaning towards turquoise inevitably catches the eye and fits perfectly with this "compact" convertible, a perfect symbol of the Fifties completed by the large whitewall tires. Although it is generally preferred to drive the Thunderbird with the wind in your hair or with the hard-top, the soft top is present (not always the case) and folds completely behind the seats. The body is in excellent overall condition with some minor defects. The undercarriage in good condition shows some signs of corrosion. All accessories, emblems, and hubcaps are present and in good condition, only the bumpers show a bit of wear due to time. Inside, the cabin is in line with the exterior with this duo of blue and white, overall in good condition without stains or tears, this strict two-seater already offers electric seat adjustment, the windows are also electric. Passengers face a nice well-instrumented dashboard typical of American productions where hammered metal, chrome, vinyl, and body color shades coexist. Mechanically, it is the V8 312ci that operates under the hood paired with the Ford-O-Matic 3-speed transmission. It purrs like a big cat and carries the Thunderbird with great ease, the controls are very smooth: steering and braking are assisted. The whole makes driving very comfortable and smooth. The Thunderbird is a historic model firmly rooted in American automotive culture. The overall condition of this specimen allows for immediate and serene consideration of beautiful drives on back roads.
