This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:
{{F1 cars 1956|state=collapsed}}will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.{{F1 cars 1956|state=expanded}}will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
Articles transcluding this template will be included in Category:1956 Formula One season cars unless a value is provided for the |nocat= parameter.
