A stunner. Wish they'd done the '57 in black too. Oh, well.

55 Bird ?

Looking close at the photo, it appears that it is a 1956 minus the butt wart. The front fenders have vent doors and the rear bumper has the exhaust ports in the corners. Was this a "promo" photo from the mint ?

Maybe. Took the photo from right here at Legacy Motors.
