If you went into a curve or corner too fast with a 56 you were going off the road backwards. In 56 Ford de-emphasized racing softened the suspension and hung a heavy continental kit on the back and then add 70 pounds of reinforcement to the rear frames because they were cracking. The 55s were hot for their day and good handling for their time and pretty quick with solid lifters. I put some miles on 55-57 Birds back in the day.
