1956 Thunderbird:

Model # - Name Photo Manufacturer / Country Scale Description

56 Ford Thunderbird American Graffiti set . MotorMax / China 1/24 White with red & white seats; new package only; Set with white truck and trailer

1956 Thunderbird #4064/4065 MotorMax for MotorMint / China 1/43 dark blue with white top; black interior; There was another set of numbers across the chassis at the front axle #116546 - I couldn't tell if that # will change with each chassis or not. The license plate is a yellow "California" plate with the letters CAL 700. Above the #700, there are 2 license plate tags - 1 red and the other is black. The black has the number "57" printed in it but I don't have a strong enough magnifier to read what was written in the red tag. There is no front plate.

* Some cars are rather generic for 1955 & 1956 ie. have characteristics of both years. If you don't see your model listed in the '56 list it may be in the '55 list. Manufacturer of many of those models is also hard to determine so distributor's name is listed which is why some models look the same but have different "manufacturers"
