Seller's comments and description: this is a solid tight car in every respect. It is free of spooky noises, rattles and squeaks, even over railroad crossings. The acceleration and braking are both excellent. The engine does not smoke or make odd noises either. The car does not pull or drift to either side while driving or braking. The transmission shifts smoothly, windows operate easily and their are no glass cracks or noticeable chips. It has cold air conditioning. Lights all work as do wipers and heater. This car does not include a convertible top. The body is straight. The original undercoating shows solid body mount braces and rocker panels with their original drain holes. There are no rust concerns although one spot forward of the right rear wheel will need attention now. This car is in the original matching number paint "fiesta red with a colonial white" removable hardtop. Without the no cost option port hole. This was and remains rare. Not everyone was enamored with a round window. The interior is also matching number fiesta red and white. The steering wheel is not painted, it is original matching color plastic. Included is a new correct color seat upholstery and behind the seat curtain. Perfect condition and boxed. The body paint is only fair on this car. It needs repainting although it looks fine from 15 feet away. The worst paint spot is the top side of the drivers front fender where some plastic appears to have been used. This was not a rust spot area. Perhaps it was dented, under the fender it doesn't appear to have been much of a dent. The paint issues are mostly widely spread fine cracking. A paint guy thinks lacquer was used over enamel way back then. The paint is bound to the body tightly and can be polished waxed etc. Except the spot on the front fender where it appear more fragile. The top paint is excellent, it has no cracking, chips or scuffs of any kind. All trim work is very nice like the stainless around the windows and hardtop. Often these have pings, scuffs or small dents but are real nice. Perhaps interesting is that 9 colors were available for t-birds in 1956. Fiesta red, something of a salmon or coral, was the only red. This car has a complete new exhaust system with warrantee. New fuel pump, radiator core, belts and hoses, tune up, fuel tank and gas gauge sending unit, brake work and ac charging. It road tested and i'm confident a dependable driver. Air Conditioning
