AMT 1/25 1956 Ford Thunderbird Model Kit

The 1/25 scale 1956 Ford Thunderbird by AMT captures the middle year of the original two-seat T-Bird trilogy. The '56 Thunderbird refined the inaugural '55 design with a distinctive continental kit spare tire mount on the rear, revised exhaust outlets, and an optional porthole hardtop that improved over-the-shoulder visibility. Powered by Ford's 312ci Y-block V8 producing up to 225 horsepower, the '56 T-Bird was Ford's elegant answer to the Corvette — emphasizing personal luxury over raw performance. The two-seat T-Birds ('55-'57) remain the most collectible, and the '56 strikes a perfect balance between the original design and the final-year refinements. This AMT kit captures the T-Bird's graceful proportions and the continental kit's distinctive profile.
