1956 Ford Thunderbird Red 1/24 Diecast Car Model by Motormax

The Red Thunderbird — 1956 Ford's Personal Luxury Icon at 1/24

The 1956 Ford Thunderbird in Red is one of the most recognisable and beloved classic American cars — the second year of the first-generation T-Bird, refined from the original with a small porthole window in the hardtop and other detail improvements. In Red, the Thunderbird wears the colour that suits its romantic, glamorous character best. Motormax's 1/24 diecast captures every chrome accent and graceful line at a scale that does this classic justice.

The Story Behind the Model
