When it comes to cars that represent their era, very few match up to the likes of the iconic Ford Thunderbird and the 50s; with post-war production being ramped up, the Thunderbird was not just another American luxury offering but one that stood out no matter where you are or the occasion. This fine example of a 50s legend we have today comes in the form of this lovely 1957 Ford Thunderbird, which is reported to be sold by its original owner/family. With a reported 53,000 miles on the clock, this classic American beauty has seen some refreshing over the years to make it functioning automotive art and yours to enjoy.
Exterior and Interior
What makes the Thunderbird hot property among collectors to this day is its signature 50s styling that isn't over the top like many cars of the time; the Thunderbird's styling was just right. The black exterior with a white convertible top on this 1957 Ford Thunderbird suits its elegant yet toned-down styling well. The current owner reports that a retractable hardtop with a porthole and a new white soft top is currently on the car. The body and paint are in excellent condition, with the current owner reporting a repaint done back in 2010; even all the chrome exterior components are in place, including chrome driver's mirror, fender skirts, and side wind deflectors reported by the current owner. This 50s beauty sits on its original hubcaps and wears a set of thick whitewall tires. Originality seems to be this car's personality trait, and the black and white interior of this 1957 Ford Thunderbird speaks volumes. The interior is reported to be factory by the current owner and even sports a white leather bench seat for that added 50s effect.
Engine
In keeping with its originality, even the 312ci V8 powertrain under the hood of this 1957 Ford Thunderbird is claimed to be original by the current owner. And yes, even the automatic transmission sending power to this car's rear wheels is also original. The vehicle is reported to have never been rebuilt but refreshed to keep things as near ex-factory as possible.
