This was an actual TV ad that appeared in 1956 !!! 1956 FORD Thunderbird TELEVISION Commercial with famous actor Bing Crosby !!! #3 CLICK HERE TO SEE #3 YouTube Video = 1956 FORD Thunderbird Television commercial 1956 Thunderbird T-Bird “Suddenly, its 1956” and everyone who sees you in this car will be right back there with you. The car makes a warm and friendly kind of statement. Smiles and waves are what this symbol of free and easy lifestyle earn from those who stop what they are doing and follow you with their eyes down the road. For that moment, they are dreaming about your reality. This is what the 1956 T Bird is all about, returning us to an era where young was clean and fun. Songs were written about the T Birds, and you had to be good, or “Daddy would take the T Bird away.” You will not only enjoy the nostalgic sensation and uplifting feeling, you will not have expensive upkeep. The T Bird, rare as they are, have more parts available and cheaper than most any car of today. After all, it’s a FORD, and back when they were simple, but elegant and, made of steel, not plastic. You are safer in a T Bird, with a real frame around it. Because of its age, no more smog checks, no seatbelts required, and no matter how long you keep this Bird, it will always be worth more than the day you bought it. This car is a practical investment, by far a better place to put your money than in the bank. Only gold might be better, but you can’t drive gold to the 7-11, or better yet, to the drive in theater or the drive up diner. The car is a real life changer in a time when “Change” is in vogue. You are in style with the porthole hardtop off this automobile or drop on the porthole hardtop for that formal look for ride to the Hilton’s party. If you are married, this car must be used with caution, but for a single person; make your wedding plans the first day you take someone into ecstasy on that classic style bench seat. 1956 FORD THUNDERBIRD T-Bird PORTHOLE TOP & CONTINENTAL KIT !

Call 408-647-6212 Pacific Standard Time (California Time) OR ccfreedom@aol.com NOTE: Odometer says aprox 115,000 but consider it 115,000 See pictures and video of undercarriage. Its a driver-not show car. Does the car have any leaks? They ALL leak but this one very little! Is the driver's door aligned? No-common issue with all Tbirds. Any interior issues? Yes-best to view attached video.T-Bird is not currently registered as it has been in storage for a number of years. NOTE: This car is not a show car.It is a nice/decent driver that gets the looks driving down the road. It looks nicer in the photos than in person and I have taken photos of its issues to the best of my abilities.Understand this is a 55 year old car and has some issues developed over the years.Best to inspect in person before bidding.Also, recommend you pay the $129 and Order an independent inspection before bidding-it is what it is. I don't want any surprises and neither do you! Car is currently unregistered and in the process of reissuing the ownership certificate Again, the odometer says aprox `15,000 but consider it to be 115,000+ given it's a 1956 automobile. Have a non-original bumper jack that goes with the car. The front end is straight and has not been hit -the 8104/5 are original, hood has proper angle when open and the fenders lips are original. There is a rust spots on doors and cracked bondo on rocker panel(see photos). This car runs good, is fun to drive, gets lots of attention ! Has good tread on the tires.
