1956 Ford Thunderbird (1955-1957)

This 1956 Ford Thunderbird was serviced and sold by Minter’s Thunderbirds of Dallas, Texas, before being given to Kris Jenner in late 2016. The car is powered by a P-code 312ci V8 backed by a three-speed automatic transmission and is finished in red with a matching hardtop. The car rides on 15″ steel wheels with wire-spoke hubcaps and Firestone whitewall tires, and the cabin is outfitted with red and white vinyl upholstery, engine-turned trim, Vintage Air climate control, and a Town and Country radio. Further equipment includes a Continental kit, a hood scoop, fender vents, styled tail fins, and a Holley four-barrel carburetor. This Thunderbird is now offered in Arizona on dealer consignment at no reserve with a clean California title. The car is finished in Fiesta Red with a matching hardtop with porthole windows. Additional details include a Thunderbird hood emblem, a hood scoop, chrome bumpers, fender vents, a fixed antenna, styled tail fins, and dual exhaust outlets that exit through the rear bumper. The 15″ steel wheels wear wire-spoke hubcaps and Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewall tires. A body-color Continental spare wheel assembly is accented with chrome and mounted on the rear bumper. Stopping power is supplied by drum brakes at each corner. The bench seat is upholstered in red and white vinyl and is accompanied by engine-turned trim on the dashboard and doors. Amenities include Vintage Air climate control, a floor-mounted shifter, and a Town and Country AM radio. The three-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and frames an Astra Dial instrument cluster housing a sweeping 150-mph speedometer, a 5k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 52k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership. The P-code 312ci V8 is topped with a Holley four-barrel carburetor and features finned valve covers and a chrome air cleaner assembly. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Ford-O-Matic three-speed automatic transmission. Additional underbody photos are provided in the gallery.
