There was air conditioning in the car, I have no idea if it is hooked up or even works. This was the first year for air in these cars. Also it rivaled Cadillac for most luxurious in 1956, and won. It had the most new unique options. The motor is a 368 V8, the transmission is a Hydromatic 3 speed automatic. And yes the brakes are drum. As for other things that need to be done: it also needs a headliner, paint repair on the dash, and the leather on the dash needs to be re-glued down. As well as other misc. things that any car collector would expect to need to be addressed.
