#Classiccars #Supercar # Vintagecars #Review
Marilyn Monroe owned a beautiful Raven Black 1956 Ford Thunderbird — but after she gave the car away, it disappeared from public view for more than five decades.
Then, in 2016, the legendary Hollywood car was found.
In this episode of Hollywood Stars Behind the Wheel, we explore Marilyn Monroe's connection to her 1956 Ford Thunderbird, the story behind the iconic two-seat American cruiser, its powerful 312-cubic-inch V8, the mysterious disappearance of the car, and the documents that helped prove its Hollywood provenance.
Purchased in December 1955 through Marilyn Monroe Productions, the Thunderbird remained connected to Monroe until 1962. Decades later, the car was authenticated, restored, and offered at auction.
In November 2018, Marilyn Monroe's Thunderbird sold for an incredible $490,000.
This isn't just the story of a classic Ford.
It's the story of Marilyn Monroe, 1950s Hollywood, American automotive culture, and one remarkable car that disappeared — and came back.
