Re the 1956 Baby T-Bird #175 at Kruse Auction: The 1956 T-Bird came from San Francisco. A lady purchased in brand new and drove it until her death at 86 years old. The daughter inherited it, then later sold it to a family friend who had it totally restored in the late 1980's. The original owner's granddaughter's husband bought it back so it would still be in the family. The car was then sold approximately 7 years ago to Mr. Steve Boatman, who presents this beautiful classic car today. 1989 Frame off restoration, new paint, new convertible top, Continental Kit, dual exhaust, fender skirts, power seats, power steering, tachometer, two tops.
