In The Clouds 56 Art: By Artist Mark Watts

In The Clouds - In this scene is a 1956 Ford Thunderbird, For the 1956 model, more trunk space was added, the spare wheel was mounted outside (which helped free up trunk space), the exhausts were moved to the ends of the bumper, and air vents were added behind the front wheels to improve cabin ventilation. To improve rear-quarter visibility with the removable hardtop in place, "porthole" windows were made available as a no-cost option. An optional 312 Y-block V8 was made available for those that wanted more performance. 1956 production was 15,631 units, the lowest of all three 2-seater Thunderbird model years.
