YOU ARE VIEWING A ORIGINAL, UN-RESTORED, 1956 FORD THUNDERBIRD SURVIVOR. IT WAS PURCHASED NEW AT HICKMAN-GARRETT FORD, PASADENA TEXAS, BY MR. MARGRAVE FOR HIS WIFE, ON MAY 5, 1956.

IT IS WELL EQUIPPED WITH POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, TINTED GLASS, WINDSHIELD WASHERS, ETC. THIS THUNDERBIRD RUNS AND DRIVES EXCELLENT. THE 312 V-8 ENGINE SOUNDS AND FUNCTIONS AS GOOD AS ANY Y-BLOCK I'VE SEEN, AND TRANSMISSION SHIFTS AS INTENDED. HAS JUST BEEN SERVICED INCLUDING ALL FLUIDS AND A COMPLETE BRAKE SYSTEM RENEW. INTERIOR IS VERY NICE, ALL GLASS IS GOOD, AND CHROME AND BRIGHT WORK VERY PRESENTABLE. TURN SIGNALS, ALL LIGHTS, AND GAUGES WORKING. THE BODY STILL RETAINS IT'S RAVEN BLACK PAINT (CODE A) APPLIED AT THE FORD MOTOR CO. PLANT IN 1956; THIS CAR HAS NEVER SEEN A PAINT GUN..NO SPOT WORK OR REPAINTING ANYWHERE. NO BODY WORK OR RUST EVER. VERY GOOD ORIGINAL UNDERCARRIAGE, NO RUST, UNDERCOATING, OR RATTLE CAN COVER UPS. TRUNK AREA IS CLEAN AND ORIGINAL WITH FACTORY JACK ASSEMBLY AND ORIGINAL FIRESTONE GUM-DIPPED WHITE WALL SPARE TIRE STILL PRESENT. IF YOU LIKE HONEST ORIGINAL CARS WITH JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF PATINA, AND KNOW HOW HARD THEY ARE TO FIND, THEN HERE YOU GO. THIS CAR WAS BUILT BY FORD, NOT BY JIMBO'S PAINT AND BONDO SHOP ON MAIN ST.... MEANING....THEY ARE ONLY ORIGINAL ONCE. SERIOUS BIDDERS/BUYERS ONLY. IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 5 FEED BACKS OR ANY NON PAYER VIOLATIONS...PLEASE MOVE ON. THANK YOU.
