312 V8 3-Speed Automatic Convertible 58,421 miles. Peacock Blue 1956 Ford Thunderbird, 312 V8, PS, PB, PW, A/C, Auto. Although Ford produced the 2-passenger Thunderbird for only 3 years (1955-1957), these cars have been some of the most recognizable and collected postwar classics for decades. Originally created as an alternative to Chevy's Corvette, the T-Bird offered beautiful styling, more amenities, and standard V8 power, which resulted in a sales rout of about 24:1 in the T-Bird's favor. Ford went on to produce millions of T-Birds over 11 generations, but it's the classic 2-seat cars that get the most attention. This stunning Peacock Blue (L) 1956 Thunderbird is a fine example of these timeless classics in an extremely desirable, one-year-only color. Raise the functional, reverse-tilt hood and you'll find the 312 ci Y-block (P) that breathes through a newer Holley carburetor and keeps its cool with a thermostatically controlled electric fan with shroud. Additional features include power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seat, air conditioning, automatic transmission, desirable and correct auxiliary hardtop with porthole, correct Dark Peacock and White Vinyl trim (XC), telescopic steering wheel, a newer stereo, auxiliary temperature gauge, and classic wire wheels sporting 205/75R15 wide whitewall tires. The paint and trim, the wheel/tire selection, and the '56-only external spare tire carrier with bumper-exit exhaust all contribute to this exceptionally classy classic.
