Recent total body on restoration. Modified by owner as follows: removed 56 Continental kit and wheel; replaced front and rear bumpers with 1955 models; replaced 1956 engine with a 1957 Thunderbird special with 2 four barrel carburetors. Car is a strong #2, with some items showing a little wear. Thus we call this a 1955-56-57 Bird. That is because someone liked the ’56 chassis and not the standard continental spare tire hanging out the back. So, when this car was restored it was decided to make a new car just like they liked. Therefore, this car has the best of all three years, a 1956 chassis with a 1957 engine and 1955 bumpers and grill. I have to say that I really like it that way. Especially the smooth and powerful two four barrel carb “police interceptor” engine. You have heard the phrase “runs and drives like new”; well I won’t say it, but! It is the best 1956 driver I have ever tested.
Chrysler 392 Hemi engine - 3 speed automatic; power steering and brakes. A #3 car needing paint and windshield replacement to be perfect.
The Car of the Year for 1957 and Daytona Speedweek record holder. The car was recently gone through completely and is in #2 condition. Everything is as should be except recent addition of a HiWay HiFi 45 rpm RCA record player. Updated original radio for the addition of FM (internally) and two rear seat stereo speakers, front to rear control and stereo separation added to original knobs on radio. Stereo speakers were placed in the front existing grill, totaling four concealed speakers in three existing grills.

Special ordered 430 Lincoln engine by original owner as new. He restored the car over the last 15 years to like new condition. Reluctant to drive the car as it was so nice, hence the mileage is very low. Sadly, he passed away shortly after the restoration was completed. The car was purchased from estate and has been a driver (around 500 miles) since. I would not call this a #1 simply because it is a driver. Perhaps one of the best Black Plate birds available. Mileage also kept low because owner worked for a company which provided him with a company car.
