The first generation Thunderbird was made to dazzle, and Ford perfectly captured the golden 50s while ensuring its design will be forever timeless. Looking at this 1957 Ford Thunderbird, you are treated to all the factory design cues thanks to the exterior being in great shape, with the current owner reporting a complete restoration.

Once you are done admiring the engine bay, it's time to get down to the technicalities of it all. Powering this 1957 Ford Thunderbird is a 312 ci (5.1L) V8 powertrain capable of living up to its personal luxury car agenda and providing performance if needed. Power is channeled to the car's rear wheels through a Ford-O-Matic 3 speed automatic transmission, and drives are made effortless with a reported power steering in place.

In 2002, Ford introduced the eleventh generation Thunderbird, as a retro-modern homage to the original. It brought back many first-generation attributes such as the two-seat layout, but featured modern mechanicals and technology under the skin.

With under 17,000 miles on the clock, the Full Interior Color Accent Package and the Deluxe Series Order Code, this is a car for the discerning collector indeed.
