Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this beautifully restored
1957 Thunderbird for purchase. The 1957 Thunderbird is the last of
its generation and arguably the best! Even though it moved to a
Four Door Model in 1958 Ford made numerous changes to improve on
it's two older siblings the 1955 & 1956. Most of the changes were
styling including; a larger, stronger front bumper with rectangular
parking lamps. A larger front grille was said to improve engine
cooling. The shape of the front wheel cut outs was modified. New
badging included chrome "Thunderbird" name scripts which were added
to the front fenders, ahead of the louver decorations. Fins were
becoming in and Ford was leading the pack with Shark-like tailfins
added to the Thunderbird. The longer 1957 body addressed detractors
who felt the storage was inadequate thus providing more luggage
space. After being externally mounted in 1956, the spare tire was
moved back inside the 6-inch-longer trunk. The extra length and
weight improved the handling according to Ford.
This 57 Thunderbird is an immaculate restoration by one of our most
discriminating clients. Our "Little Bird" is believed to be a
numbers matching car from Arizona (previous Arizona title comes
along as well as the custom "57" tags and previous Arizona Plates).
This Black Tie Beauty is done in Raven Black paint with Raven Black
and Colonial White interior. From front to back this Thunderbird is
beautifully restored and beautifully maintained. Turn the key and
turn back time as the elegant Thunderbirds throaty rumble and
smooth running powerful V8 will have you looking for the long curvy
way home! Our Black Tie Beauty Thunderbird makes no apologies and
is done to exacting detail. Please call or email for more
details!
