1956 Ford Thunderbird – Hard Top Convertible. 1 of 15,631 This IS a Barn Find – stored in since 1968. 2nd owner. Husbsnd dird in 2009, and in 2011 his widow and grandson brought this car out of storage, to fulfill her wish to drive in the Woodward Dream Cruise. It was then put away until last week. I am leaving this car pretty much as is i found it. I did wash it and clean the interior. I cleaned out the fuel lines and filter, and got it started. The carb started to leak, so shut it down. Now I am offering it up for sale, as is. Its all original, except the paint. Sometime in the sixties it was painted. There is really no rust on the car or rust thru areas. Solid floor pans, trunk, frame and body. I do not see any signs of repairs or body filler. You can run you hands around all the fenders and there is zero filler or patches. Under doors, door jambs and rockers all solid. Doors close nice and straight. Hood and truck have great fit, both open close perfectly. Rear tire swings out to open trunk or add gas. The paint is a “10 footer”, and has some blems chips and scratches. All the body panels are straight with no signs of damage or repairs. I have more pics of the inner wheel wheels and trunk wells. All is in very good shape. The Interior is beautiful. still has the dealer plastic on the working power seats. No rips , tears or blems. Door panels, kick panels, head liners, carpet, dash are in excellent shape. Power windows work perfect, and all glass is original. Wing vents for when the top is off are perfect. Town & Country radio hums but I could not get a station to tune in. I do not think the clock works. I have more pics. Odometer reads 22,624, I can’t be 100% sure if its 22k or 122k. All the odometer numbers are straight and show no signs of tampering. Looking at the body & interior its hard to say it’s 122k. Ask questions or ask for any more pics. 312 Y block, power steering and power brakes, 4bbl Tea Pot carb (leaks at accelerator pump, ($22 rebuild kit). Automatic transmission (Fordomatic). All systems seem to be holding fluids and I see no leaks. I was told in 2011 all the fluids were changed. The coolant is green, the oil looks good and the trans fluid is bright red. The electrical system seems ok. Ignition, horn, dome lights, blinkers, brake lights all work. One head lamp is out and high beams did not come on.
