Is there a way to trace my 1956 T-Bird back to its original oner? How do I go about it?

I found the original purchase invoice and the data build sheet in the springs under the seat showing the dealership, purchaser's name and address in East Orange NJ. By checking the codes I found out that the car was missing a number in the serial number, but has "D" in a special notes meaning "Diplomatic". It turned out that the car was purchased by the Canadian Ambassador to the U.N. at the time (1964). I located him in 1997 living a few miles from me. He was blown away when I called him and brought the car around to show him. We went for a little ride..... memories! Guess I was lucky!Is there a way to trace my 1956 T-Bird back to its original oner? How do I go about it?

I was told by the previous owner that he purchased the 1956 T bird from the hall of fame baseball pitcher for the Saint Louis Cardinals Bob Gibson. He would have no reason to make this up because I had purchased the car over 2 years ago and just found the owner before me and asked who he bought the car from. My question is how can I find out if it was really owned by Bob Gibson and if he bought it new or if their were owners before him and who they were? So far I have had no luck.
Has anyone registered with this? I'm not sure I'm comfortable giving them all my info. Not sure where it may end up.Here is the correct link to the Thunderbird Registry.

I did put in my VIN and nothing. Says I would have to start a new registration.
