Used 1956 Ford Thunderbird for Sale near Grand Rapids, MI

After 50 years I was finally able to find a 1956 Baby Bird that I could afford. Slightly modified (Mustang 302 V8, C4 Automatic and Mustang dual power assist brake booster, Vintage air heat/air conditioning). A little hard to steer because previous owner didn't know how to install power steering pump with alternator and air cond compressor. Car rides smooth handles well (except could use a faster steering box gear ratio). Just a little hard to get into (low roof lines make you bend your head to get in) but once in there is quite a lot of head, shoulder and leg room. It still is a crwod pleaser for young, middle and older age groups. Too bad I had to wait so long. I like it better than the 1968 Shelby GT350 convertible I previously owned. This one had hard & ssoft tops and only enough room for 2 or 3. Too bad Ford made new T'bird closer to 54 Covette in looks (rounded front headlights/fenders). They probably would sell more if they were closer to original Baby Birds in looks.

With the continental kit it has more room than a 55 T-Bird, but is shorter than a 57.

Price was reasonable compared to many ads for T-birds, Would like more info on the listed vehicle; summary of repairs & restoration work.

This Car Is Almost Identical To My Grandpa's 56 Same Color And Everything And My Gramps Car Is Just As Amazing As This One. The Car Has Both The Convertable Soft Top And The Hard Top.

Outstanding! Fewer ‘56s made than ‘55s &‘57s. It’s a great value on a great car. Car missing me as owner-driver. JH
