The 1956 T-Bird’s spare tire was housed inside a continental-style rear bumper mount and the dual exhaust vents were inconspicuously positioned at the side edges of the bumper, but only for that model year.Īlthough the Thunderbird is an iconic model in the history of the Ford Motor Company, what makes this car extra special is who the original owner was. The car had 56,914 miles on it when I became the owner. It came equipped with factory-installed seatbelts, an automatic transmission, power steering, 4-way power seats, a Town & Country radio, fender skirts and a 312 c.i. It was shipped to Bill Heath Motors in North Hollywood, Calif., and the price listed on the build sheet was $3,036.10 (U.S.). The car is the original colour, Colonial White, with black and white interior. My 1956 Ford T-Bird was born in Dearborn, Mich., on Feb. ![]() The first one I bought was a 1930 Model A Ford coach, and then I moved on to Thunderbirds.
