Geocache Description:

The Fabulous Thunderbirds - 1956


Congrats Flintstone5611 on FTF!!!

 

Here is a series of caches that celebrates one of the coolest models of cars ever built, the Ford Thunderbird.  I've never owned one, but one day I'd love to buy and old classic example.  I'd cruise from cache to cache with the top down!  Man, that would be the life.

 

First year for "port" window in hardtop
First year for standard rear-mounted spare tire (1956 only)
Lifeguard deep dish steering wheel and double grip door latches introduced as standard
First year for 12-volt electrical system
Door-mounted wind wings introduced as standard
Front fender air vents introduced to improve air flow to interior
Thunderbird Special V-8 engine option with 2 x 4-barrel carburetors
 

"1955 is generally regarded as the year rock and roll music began, and the song "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley and The Comets is credited for starting it; Elvis Presley appears on the charts for the first time with "Heartbreak Hotel;" Grace Metalious's book "Peyton Place" hits the best sellers list; the DNA molecule is photographed for the first time; and the population of the United States was 168,903,031.
