Guest 56Tbird Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I'd like to see a pic of the interior. I swear mine looks more like a turquoise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1957Birdman Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 56Tbird,Please post a picture of your interior. It will give us a better idea of what you are talking about. You may also want to post the information from the dataplate. It will give us a good idea of what the car had colorwise when it came from the factory.Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 56Tbird Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 The data plate shows Peacock Blue. Here's a pic.http://photos.aaca.org/showimage.php?i=32090"][/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest billybird Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 From what I can tell by your picture, your interior is in fact Peacock Blue. How old is the interior? It could have faded some. The turquise color is much lighter and was a 55' color. In any event; there is a good picture of a white/ peacock blue on ebay right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 56Tbird Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) Thanks Billybird. The interior is original, minus the seat covers. The seats are about 30 years old. I checked the ebay listing, and it looks just like mine. I knew the Turquoise was a 55 color, but wasn't sure how much difference in color.

Guest mikelj Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I have a peacock blue exterior and interior, aren't they the same interior color as the white exterior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 56Tbird Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Thanks for the pics. I see your blue very different than mine. I see pics on other sites, and look just like mine. That's what confuses me between the 55 turquoise, and the Peacock Blue in 56. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mikelj Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I think the '55 color is lighter than the '56 and with more green in it. I know some call the '55 blue color, "aqua". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mikelj Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 It looks peacock blue, but faded a bit maybe. My pictures are interior garage pics with lower light than your outdoor sunlit ones. But I don't see the greenish tint associated with '55 aqua. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest billybird Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 56Tbird: Have you ever seen a 55 with the turqouise and white interior? If you have or had, you should never wonder about yours again. I worked for 30 years in a field where my living depended on deciphering colors. Rest your mind, your interior is Peacock.

Guest skygazer Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I painted my 55 peacock blue. I think it is an authentic formula, and I love the color. While it has a hint of turquoise, it is much darker than the stock 55 Thunderbird Blue color. I left the wedge under the armrest of the doors the original color for comparison. The upholstery is slightly darker than the stock color, but it is more turquoise than the body.
