Overview of 1957 Ford Thunderbird E Code For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

The black exterior on this 1957 Ford Thunderbird E-Code highlights the design work and is bound to turn heads as you drive by. The exterior of this '50s classic is in excellent shape, and that's thanks to a new paint job and refurbished chrome parts, as reported by the current owner; also reported is that the soft top and hard top are included in the sale. The sleek and smooth styling transitions into a set of wire wheels, which are reported to be new by the current owner and wrapped with fresh whitewall tires. The first-generation Ford Thunderbird sported one of the most iconic cabins of all time. It was the poster child of 1950s interior dashboard design and is perfectly showcased with this 1957 Ford Thunderbird E-Code and its white interior. The current owner reports that the interior has been reupholstered, and it looks like it just rolled off the factory floor in 1950. Every interior component is present and in excellent shape.

Engine

Pop open the hood of this 1957 Ford Thunderbird E-Code, and you will find a 312ci V8 motor that sports dual Holley four-barrel carburetors and other neat features to make it stand out. This high performance engine option is denoted by the ‘E’ Engine code in the Thunderbird family and gives you top of the line power output that rivaled the Corvette of its era. The current owner reports some refreshments in terms of performance to ensure more time behind the wheel; maintenance on this classic American cruiser includes a recent oil change for refined performance and a recent tune-up to ensure everything works as it should. In terms of power delivery, this '50s classic channels all its performance to its rear wheels through a Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission.
