Over the years I have managed to collect ‘56 Thunderbirds in all the colors offered with the exception of the one in Thunderbird Gray Metallic. All were produced by Brooklin except the Sunset Coral which I acquired through the restoration of one. Here they are with the paint codes.

David your paint jobs are fantastic. Having owned a 1/1 55 in Goldenrod Yellow, I believe in 1956 the yellow was called Goldenglow
