Monogram 1956 Ford Thunderbird Model Kit

 

1956 Ford Thunderbird

 

 

A Monogram 1956 Thunderbird. Built stock out of the box. The green is a spray can color I found in a hardware store. I wanted to replicate a 50's looking color as best I could.


This kit has some good white wall tires, and a nice continental kit. The hardtop is removable.

Overall, this is a well made kit, and has great fitment and detail. Right down to the Ford 312 Y-Block V8.

The wide whitewalls come with the kit and really make it look good.

  • Ford Trimotor - the Saga of the Tin Goose - This lively story of the Ford trimotor airplane appears in a newly updated, revised edition to introduce new audiences to this story of the first passenger airplane produced in 1928. Only 200 'Tin Goose' planes were ever manufactured, but these made aviation history, pioneering commercial flight runs, airplane ticketing, runway design, and other forerunners to modern flight.
  • Fords of the Fifties - In this story of success and fabulous cars Parris captures the essence of the company during the 1950s through research at the Ford Motor Company archives, and in interviews with executives from the period. Fords of the Fifties will become your best source of information for this great period in Ford automotive history.
  • Thunderbird Fifty Years - Thunderbird. For five decades, the Ford Thunderbird has been a car that has taken America on a wonderful ride through the changes of its time. From the sporty classic two-seater that people still go nuts for over half a century after it was first built, to the retro reincarnation of today and everything in between from sleek convertibles and suicide-doors sedans to supercharged coupes, the T-bird has been an enthusiast's car for all seasons. Thunderbird: 50 Years takes a look at the golden history of every generation of this American classic, and details the development and evolution of one of Ford's best-known models year-by-year, in text and 200 photographs. Chapter by chapter, each generation of the T-bird is placed within the context of its time to help illustrate why the car evolved as it did. From the ever-desirable finned two-seater's of the 1950s, stylish and sporty convertibles of the late 1950s and early 1960s, suicide-door cruisers of the late 1960s, land yachts of the 1970s, aerodynamic turbo- and supercharged coupes of the 1980s and 1990s, and today's retro-influenced reincarnations, all are covered from an enthusiast's viewpoint. Learn what's rare and desirable in the lists of options, colors and production figures. See examples of the most desirable and collectible 'Birds around, including excellent originals and authentically restored jewels presented in color.- Complete history of the Thunderbird- Spectacular photography by David Newhardt- Sidebars touch on pop culture status and impact- Very detailed appendix with production features and options
  • Thunderbird! An Illustrated History of the Ford T-Bird - 320 pages and over 1000 pictures are employed to describe the early Ford Thunderbirds. The 1955-1957 models are clearly defined and there is additional coverage of the 1958 to 1969 versions. Highly recommended.
