Breathtaking 1956 Ford Thunderbird Convertible
New to our Pleasanton showroom is this highly impressive 1956 Ford Thunderbird 2 Door Convertible with light yellow exterior paint, a matching hardtop with the iconic portal window, a soft top and a very nice brown/tan leather interior. You’ll find a 312 cid V-8 engine under the hood that’s paired to an automatic transmission and this classic offers very nice performance on the open road. This impressive example is also optioned with power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seats, Vintage Air, side skirts and the Continental Kit for the rear spare tire.
Very Highly Optioned w/ Tremendous Performance
The current owner of this 1956 Ford Thunderbird Roadster has enjoyed it since 2007 and he informs us that it originally sold new in Santa Fe Springs, California. He was drawn to this highly original example due to the overall condition and opted to add Vintage A/C, which currently needs a recharge to work properly. Additionally, we are unsure if the drivetrain is original to this example but the engine bay does look period correct and delivers smooth, reliable performance. The current owner does not know if the engine has ever been rebuilt.
Additionally, this 1956 Ford Thunderbird Convertible has really great curb appeal with smooth body lines and high-quality exterior paint, chrome & trim with only minimal blemish. The iconic hardtop with porthole windows is also in excellent overall shape and seals properly, and the included soft top is also in very nice condition. Meanwhile, the interior of this ’56 T-Bird comes close to new in appearance with only the slightest of imperfections. The factory dash and instrument clusters all work appropriately as well and bring this example to another level.
An Excellent Value at the Current Asking Price
Overall, this 1956 Ford Thunderbird Convertible is a beautiful, highly optioned example with excellent curb appeal and even better performance. It would make an excellent high-end driver to take in weekend shows and events, but there’s simply no way that this impressive example remains available for long at the current asking price. For more information about this vehicle, visit our Pleasanton, California showroom, give us a call at 925-484-2262, or email us at Sales@SpecialtySales.com. Be sure to mention Stock # P10627 as well.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
