Overview of 1957 Ford Thunderbird For Sale by Owner

The original Ford Thunderbird may have appeared around the same time as the Chevrolet Corvette, but each model had very different philosophies. While the Corvette tried to focus on sporting pedigree and performance, the Thunderbird appealed to the more traditional consumer—one who cared more about comfort, cruising, and exploring the blacktop. If that’s the kind of classic motoring experience you’re looking for, then look no further than our 1957 Ford Thunderbird. The original Ford Thunderbird is known for its good looks and luxurious features. Our featured car comes with a reported 63,500 miles on the odometer and a recently rebuilt transmission.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior appearance of the Ford Thunderbird is pure ’50s Americana. The car was designed to seat just two and was marketed as a “personal luxury car”—the kind of car that appealed to a distinct set of well-heeled individuals. With its circular headlamps up front, understated grille, and small tailfins, the Thunderbird's design was beautifully restrained. As shown with our feature car, for 1957 the Thunderbird's spare tire was moved to the rear bumper in a “continental” style layout, allowing for more trunk space. Our featured car has a color-coded theme, with a white exterior, white soft top, and white wall tires. Also included in the sale is a white hardtop, which is reported to require assembly. Step inside and the white theme is replaced by swaths of red leather. Even the large steering wheel features a red rim, complemented by a chrome horn ring. There’s more textured metal on the dash, which includes a 140 mph speedometer and a period radio featuring town and country settings. This car is reported to be all original and comes with a set of two keys.

Engine

Under the hood of this 1957 Ford Thunderbird lies a 292ci V8 motor that is reported to be original to the car. Feeding the eight cylinders is a four-barrel carburetor for optimum performance. The Thunderbird also features its original automatic transmission, which is reported to have been rebuilt less than 10,000 miles ago.
