I have a 1956 T-bird my Mom bought it in 1962. I have never seen one like it I'm restoring it now bringing it back to original. Has original 312 engine three speed manual with O/D speedometer is in kilometers AM radio no heater Colonial White with black and white interior. Seems most came with automatic trans and power everything.

Just wondering if it's as special as I think it is lol

I'm not sure how many 56's were exported and therefore had the kilometer speedo. But it was a fair number. It is generally accepted that about 4% of all 55-57 T-birds came with manual trans. However. the O.D. would have been less than 4%. These cars could be ordered in all kinds of configurations. Items could be added and deleted almost endlessly. The only thing that would make the car special would be the export/speedo deal. As I said; it was a fair number. Maybe someone can quote some exact numbers for us. My 56' has the 312 engine, dress up kit, PS, no power brakes or windows and one top { soft }. 3 spd. manual with OD. and power seat.
