This 1956 Ford Thunderbird is powered by a 312ci V8, and a refurbishment completed in 2010 included a rebuild of the three-speed Fordomatic automatic transmission, a repaint in black, and a reupholstering of the white and red interior. Equipment includes a black-finished removable hardtop with porthole windows, a black soft top, a heater, a Custom Autosound AM/FM/CD stereo, chrome bumpers, a rear Continental kit, and parking lights.
The car left the factory finished in Raven Black and was refinished in 2010. Equipment includes a matching removable hardtop with porthole windows, a replacement black soft top, a Thunderbird hood emblem, chrome bumpers, fender vents, auxiliary parking lights, a fixed antenna, and tail fins.
The 14″ steel wheels are mounted with 205/75 American Classic tires. A body-color Continental spare wheel assembly is accented with chrome and mounted on the rear bumper. Stopping power is supplied by drum brakes at each corner.
The cabin features a bench seat reupholstered in white and red vinyl that is accompanied by a color-coordinated dashboard and door panels. Equipment includes a heater, a floor-mounted shifter, manual windows, and a Custom Autosound AM/FM/CD stereo.
The P-code 312ci Y-block V8 is topped with a four-barrel carburetor and was factory rated at 225 horsepower. The fuel tank and sender, fuel pump and lines, and water pump were replaced in 2008 and the oil was changed in October 2023.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Fordomatic three-speed automatic transmission. The transmission has been rebuilt in 2009.
