A few models were made to be shipped to Europe. They had all of the whistles and bells plus extra chrome on the tachometer and clock bezels. The gas lines were also chrome plated plus the hood latch. It also has the speedometer readings in kilometers per hour and not miles per hour. Hope this helps. They are much rarer vehicles. The data plate on the fire wall shows 16 C EX 415. Translating this means 16 is the day of the month it was built. C means the month it was built or March. So the build date was March 16, 956. The EX means it was made for export. The 415 means this was the 415th Ford, ot just Thunderbirds, o be built company wide on March 16, 956. The car was shipped to Jersey City, ew Jersey to be put on a ship to Europe.
