This gorgeous 1957 Ford Thunderbird is an exceptional example of the thoroughly re-styled for 1957 Thunderbird that featured a new longer tail section with prominent fins. This provided greater luggage space while enabling the spare wheel to be relocated to the trunk, thus improving handling. Despite its success, the original Thunderbird concept was soon abandoned and a larger - and slower - four-seat version was introduced for 1958, a move that turned the early two-seater cars into collectors' items seemingly overnight.
The sporting Ford is presented in beautiful condition inside and out, clearly benefiting from a comprehensive and well-maintained restoration. The appealing color of Starmist Blue with a matching removable hardtop, as well as a contrasting Dark Blue soft top create a look that is sophisticated and elegant. A set of Sports Roadster-style chrome wire wheels fitted with 7.50-14 Coker Classic wide whitewall tires enhances its appeal. The interior is authentically restored in two-tone Dresden/Starmist Blue vinyl and is equipped with power brakes, electric power steering, Town & Country radio and upgraded cold-blowing air conditioning charged with modern 134a.

Completed at the Dearborn, Michigan Ford plant, this 1957 Thunderbird E-Code represents the final production year of the classic, two-seat Thunderbird, featuring the larger 312ci OHV V8 engine topped with the optional twin Holley carburetors and rated for a healthy 270 horsepower. Of the 21,380 Thunderbirds produced in 1957, just 1,363, or a touch over 6%, were ticked with the E-Code option. This Thunderbird is now fitted with an authentic single four-barrel intake manifold, carburetor and air cleaner for ease of maintenance and drivability; however, the original "E" Code intake, dual carbs, and air cleaner go with the car. A striking example in every regard, you will surely be impressed with this very rare, beautiful and well- equipped example of Ford's classic 1957 Thunderbird. Call today!
