I'm glad it has what it has and not much more. The black one my dad bought my mom in 1956 was the same without 2-tone and P/S..That's it.  This is the reason I finally went out looking for one. She past away last June 2011 at 95 and was under my care and I didn't want to "run out" so the memory of the '56 had to wait till then. I was pretty lucky in high school the have one to "use" for dates....

Hopefully this inquiry will help a lot of guys find out what was standard and the $$$$'s

The only thing I'm pretty sure of on my is the Thunderbird 292 V-8 with Dual exhausts is standard.

It has the following items and I hope one of you can tell new if it's standars or option and if so how much $$$ extra it was.

I think most of these are options:  2-tone paint, Ford-O-Matic Transmission, Master guide Power Steering, Magic-Aire Heater, Console-Range Radio, Full Ford Crest Wheel Covers, Rear Fender Shields (Skirts), White Wall tires & Exhaust Deflectors

How about these: Automatic lighter, Windshield Washer, Back-up lights, Left Outside, Mirror Tinted Glass & Clock.

It does not have A/C, Master Power Brakes (or add on), Padded Dash and Visors, Full Vinyl Interior, Rear Speaker, Continental Kit. Wire Wheel Hubcaps, 312 Thunderbird Special V-8, OD Trans, T/C Radio, Rear antenna, Spot Lights, Auto-dimming rear view mirror, Right Outside Mirror, Bumper Guards front or rear, Fog lamps, 

Thanks for anyones help........................JD
