Steve & Dot, where is #1?

And does Amos Minter still have his? Wasn't it a low number EB 2002 too?

Joe, check post # 8. Perhaps they have it stored away if not on display.

Re: T-BIRD number 2

The ACD Museum is a world class museum, and an absolute MUST SEE. We've been there twice now and will go again.

There are 2 other museums in the immediate area, one which is attached to the ACD, the other 1 exit south. You could easily spend 2 full days in the area.

I wish someone would take on a TBird gathering around there. There are plenty of good hotels and lots to see. Anyone? Anyone?

No where in the Museum could I find out if it was a 55 or 56, I was sure someone on here could tell, Dot???

The continental kit gives it away for me. Didn't all '56s have them? I always look at the big things, first.

Re: T-BIRD number 2

My father got that exact 56 T bird as a settlement for a debt owed him. That car had a white port hole hard top. The color was considered so awful all my friends laughed at me and my buddys 57 chevy blew my doors off. He sold the car and got me an MGTC which put me into a totally different peer group who didn't care how fast your car was on a dragstrip.

Re: T-BIRD number 2

Another rare thing about that 56 is it has seat belts, not standard equipment in those days, it was an option. Also it looks like it's a 3 speed manual trany too. Leroy
