Description : Gateway classic cars of Nashville is proud to digitally present this 1956 Ford Thunderbird. Looking fine in what I believe to be Fiesta Red with white top this is one classy car. Sporting a continental kit with the spare tire mounted to the back and wire wheel with wide white walls this is one good looking car. Looking this car over it is very hard to find anything that I would call a flaw. The interior looks as if it has never been sat on. Under the hood is the Original 312 Y block that has plenty of power to scoot this two-seater along at a rapid pace. A 2-speed automatic transmission also original to the car provides all the gears you need, cruising past the spectators slow and speeding past the rivals fast. This vehicle is a numbers matching. The sharpest I have seen in sometime. In 1956 you were a cool hip cat if you drove out of your local Ford dealership in a car like this. Today you would be even cooler driving this car to your local cars and coffee, Class reunion or just the local grocery store. With the choices of hard top, soft or no top this car looks great in every configuration. Options for this 1956 Ford Thunderbird include: AM/FM radio with cassette player, Power steering and brakes, Telescopic steering wheel, Seat belts, Vinyl interior, Wide white wall bias ply tires on wire rims.

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.
