'56 TB Heater Fan Install

I can match up the larger holes in the fan mounting plate to the heater box, but am mystified as to how the heat deflector is attached. There are two smaller holes (red arrows), but they don't match up to the deflector. The illustration in the book I have is too small for me to make any sense out of...

15-inch steel wheel for '56 Continental Kit

Looking for some advice on sourcing a steel 15-inch steel wheel for installation in my continental kit in my '56 TB.

Is there something that would fit that won't break the bank? I'll be carrying a spare in the trunk, so this is not intended to hit the road.

Any thoughts?

Re: '56 TB Garnish Kit Covering

I did not.

I'm asking the forum if there is a source for instructions on how to install it.

Do you have one?

'56 TB Garnish Kit Covering

After a couple months off, I'm back to trying to figure out how to install a complete new drop curtain. The car came to me without anything back there but a glued in shelf. So, I'm starting from scratch. I've purchased the "Garnish Kit Covering" from CASCO and it is pictured below. So, my ...

Yes, they are. I ordered two rivets along with the new tag.

Replacement VIN Tag

I know there was information about how to order a replacement VIN tag, but I was unable to find it in the archives.

Can someone shoot me the name and link of the company that performs this work please?

Mine is present but very scratched up and I'd like a more presentable one.

Thanks.

Re: Colonial White with Peacock hard top

I recently purchased my 1956 Thunderbird and have been slowly bringing it to proper driving condition. Don't get me wrong the car is immaculate but it sat in temperature controlled storage with all the proper preventive techniques for over 20 years. I have been driving it around the neighborhood an...

Re: Color of Kick Panel Retainer

The color of the interior of my '56 is Peacock and "white." I found Rust-Oleum spray paint at Home Depot that closely matched the white I have on the upholstery. The darker one, I bought 8 years ago, and it just sat. Most recently when I tried to use it, it was inoperable. I tried several ...

Below is an image from the Thunderbird Illustrations & Reference Manual showing the Windshield and related parts.

Interestingly I see nowhere the part number you're looking for.

Re: Outer windshield trim clip clarification

My suggestion is to call the CASCO Tech Help line at 740-622-9700. They've been very helpful to me in the past.

They're in Ohio, so consider the time difference.

Good luck.
