The car market was in full swing back in the 50s. The sleek and artistic European vehicles stood among the large and exuberant American cars. Chevrolet's answer to that was the Chevrolet Corvette. With the all-new American sports car taking the world by storm, Ford released the Thunderbird and referred to it as a "personal car of distinction". The Thunderbird was a larger car compared to the Corvette but blended that 50s excess and modern-day styling exceptionally well. History lesson aside, the first generation Ford Thunderbird even today, is a looker, Drive-by with the top down alongside a scenic route, and you sure feel like you are in a movie. With the lovely 1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible, we have today, you can potentially own a piece of American car history. What's better is that this car has been with the same owner for 30 years and has reportedly seen a full restoration in the 90s, with just 62,486 miles clocked in since its restoration.
The Thunderbird was inspired and built to replicate the bespoke roadsters of the 1930s, it sure lived up to its assignment. This 1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible sports a white exterior that makes this larger car look grander and more prominent; the seller reports that the original color was Gun Metal Gray with black. The car also comes with a soft white top and a matching hard top. The chrome trim on the car is in great shape, with the bumpers reported to be Re Chromed. In an ode to its factory looks the car rides on Turbine wheel covers wrapped with white wall tires. Nothing matches a white exterior better than the red exterior present on this 1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible. All that luxurious 50s interior trim is still in place, with the interior being refreshed and looking factory fresh.
Good looks aside, you also got decent performance in this 1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible. Powering this American beauty is the bigger 312ci (5.1L) V8 engine; the engine is reported to be a D code V8 which means the car is equipped with a single 4-barrel carburetor and, when new, could push out 245hp. Power is sent to the car's rear-wheel through a three-speed Fordomatic Automatic transmission. The power steering unit, while not original, has been rebuilt and makes for a more enjoyable drive. The car also has regular service and maintenance reported to keep it happily chugging along.
The 1957 Ford Thunderbird was an icon the moment it left its factory floors; it had iconic '50s styling that was jaw-dropping, the luxury that most '50s American motors are renowned for, and performance that was supposed to take on the first-generation Chevrolet Corvette. Present today is not just any first-generation Ford Thunderbird, but this sought-after 1957 Ford Thunderbird E-Code. Built to turn heads as you drive by, this 50s icon can be your weekend cruiser that's best enjoyed with its top-down and picturesque back road.
The Ford Thunderbird was America's take on Europe's famous Grand Tourers. Debuting for the 1955 model year, Ford billed the T-bird as a Personal Luxury Car. This meant a two-seater with a large engine, effortless cruising capabilities, ample cargo space, and a luxurious passenger cabin. As time passed by, the Thunderbird did indeed gain a rear seat to appeal to a wider audience. Ten generations were made, and an eleventh made an appearance between 2002 and 2005 as a homage to the original. This particular 1966 Ford Thunderbird is a lovely fourth-generation example that's up for sale with a mere 82,669 miles on the clock. Furthermore, it's reported to still contain the original engine and has received some refreshment work as well.
When you think of great automotive design throughout the years, there's an unlikely addition to one of the greats. The classic Ford Thunderbird was a legend when it rolled off the factory floors, with looks that defined the American automotive scene in the '50s and performance intended to match the legendary first-generation Corvette. Present today is this 1957 Ford Thunderbird; this American classic is in pristine condition and is looking for a new custodian to navigate weekend drives in style.
The original Mustang Boss 302 of the late 1960’s is an iconic muscle car in every respect. So, when Ford decided to resurrect the idea in 2012, the bar was already set high. Many feared the reincarnated Boss 302 would be nothing more than a marketing exercise that evoked memories of the original through visual upgrades and nothing more. However, the fears were put to rest when the car was unveiled. While visually, the 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 does differ from the GT500, there was so much more going on under the skin. The result was almost universally praised by the press, with an extra 32 horsepower from the engine, a completely revised approach to the car’s suspension, and improved brakes. If that wasn’t enough, the Boss 302 presented today has gone under some significant modifications by GALPIN Auto Sports. With a host of upgrades, and some eliminations, this Mustang is set as a proper track car with a gutted interior and a new 5.2L V8 engine that features other functional upgrades that could be the perfect track-weapon in your garage.
