Recently purchased from its long time southern California owner who had owned the car for well over 40 years and who had purchased the car from its original southern California owner! The car has been repainted some years ago in it's original 'Fiesta Red' factory color (K) and a two-tone pleated 'Black & White' vinyl interior. It has all its original factory glass and and original spare wheel Continental Kit and Hard Top.
The floor boards are completely solid and rust-free and the car was obviously a garaged and cherished southern California driver only. The car's paint is in excellent condition and the factory optional upgrade of the 312/ 225HP V8 engine is extremely strong and desirable in the Thunderbird. This particular car drives very well - drives straight with no strange road wobbles, shakes or rattles - a very reliable driver that will give any modern day car a run for it's money!
This is a rare opportunity to own a great and reliable daily driving example of an obviously always garaged and cherished original southern California rust free 1956 Thunderbird in very fine condition throughout! Owned for over 40 years now by only one southern California family, you will look long and hard to find a finer daily driving and turn-key ready example of the legendary 1956 T-Bird for any classic American car collector!
