$3,408 in 1957Removable hard top<br />1957 was the last year
for the 1st generation "little bird"
Thunderbird.�Being the�first two seat car by Ford since the 1938
model year, it created a lot of excitement�at the time.�This car
was advertised as a personal luxury car and competed with the
Corvette, although the Thunderbird was more of a niche market
focusing on comfort over speed. This particular Thunderbird is
rated by Hagerty valuation as "good" with a
insurance payout appraisal�of $51,200. Equipped with some newer
parts to increase drivability, this Thunderbird drives
extremely�smooth and feels 100% stock like you were in 1957 again.
The C3 transmission drives much smoother then the
original�"Ford-o-Matic" and allows for it to be
driven to car shows in comfort. Equipped with factory power windows
and a power seat make this car feel cutting edge for the time. The
added updated parts make this car much more dependable�then the
original�configuration. The gun metal exterior�with red interior is
one of the most sought after combinations of the Thunderbird, this
was exactly how this car looked from the factory in 1957.View high
