With
the introduction of the Chevrolet Corvette in 1953, a new type of American car
was now being produced. The two seater roadster was back, and proving to be
popular. Ford jumped into the game with the Ford Thunderbird in 1955, it was an
instant sales success, quickly outselling the Corvette. By 1957 the styling had
gone through some minor tweaks, but some design cues were present that would
forever the associated with the Ford Thunderbird, most notably the porthole
windows in the optional hard top.
This
striking ‘57 Thunderbird looks great finished in Colonial white with a
black/white interior, matching porthole hardtop and a black convertible
soft-top. Equipment includes; 312cu.in. engine, automatic transmission,
Master-Guide power steering, Swift Sure power brakes, rear fender shields, Ford
hub caps with wide white wall tires, heater, and radio. The car has been nicely
restored and well maintained since while still being used to cover some miles on
the open road. Recently acquired out of long term ownership, this is a
fantastic T-Bird for someone searching for a quality car to be driven and
enjoyed.
