This 1956 Ford Thunderbird nails the look of an icon. The year-correct Buckskin Tan is one of those terrific pastel colors that seems to define the bright and premium look of the first-gen T-Bird. And the hallmark porthole hardtop coordinates with the whitewall tires for a subtle two-tone effect. An all-around investment in this classic means tight body lines, good glass, and absolutely beautiful chrome. Plus, it comes with great details you love, including rear fender skirts, wire wheel covers, and a continental kit on the back (only stock for 1956.) The interior remains a luxurious personal cruiser. And so you have the best details like power seats, power windows, and a classic-style stereo now upgraded to be a Bluetooth unit. In fact, as you look through the whole car, you'll see a thoughtful style that only makes subtle upgrades for a better cruiser. It's also why the V8 was rebuilt and upgraded.
