Overview of 1957 Ford Thunderbird For Sale by Owner

Ford’s Thunderbird is responsible for creating the Personal Luxury Car segment in the United States, a segment that the famous, wealthy and powerful flocked to like moths to a flame in the fifties through eighties. Personal Luxury Cars were modeled on Europe’s Grand Tourers, aimed at providing smooth, swift and serene transportation across great distances while offering all the luxury niceties and creature comforts that were cutting-edge at the time. Introduced in 1955, the first-gen Thunderbird would run for a mere three model years before the second generation came about. With a mere 53,166 made, it’s not so easy to find a great example these days. However, we at Exotic Car Trader have developed somewhat of a knack for finding and offering great examples of iconic cars. This 1957 Ford Thunderbird is no exception. We’re told that the car was fully restored around 15 years ago, which explains why it still looks in great order.

Exterior and Interior

Wearing an eye-catching shade of red, this 1957 Ford Thunderbird is pure Fifties design excellence. The car features a removable hardtop with the optional porthole window, a much-desired feature at the time, and one that classic car collectors covet today. Rolling on a set of wire-styled wheels with whitewall tires, this car is pure classic bliss. The interior of this 1957 Ford Thunderbird features the two-seat configuration that the first generation T-Bird came with, before switching to a four-seat layout for subsequent generations. You’ll note plenty of chrome and some beautiful Art Deco-inspired design details, particularly on the dashboard. The car also appears to include an air conditioning unit and a retro-modern push-button styled radio. Meanwhile, the trunk offers plenty of space, and includes the spare tire.

Engine

Packing a reportedly new 312ci V8, this 1957 Ford Thunderbird is ready to rock and roll along the streets of wherever you live. The engine drives a rebuilt automatic transmission, and powers the rear wheels. The car has also received new suspension and new brakes, we’re informed. This should ensure that handling and stopping power are up to par, making it an easy-driving classic that you can enjoy.
