Now available in our DFW-Showroom is this 1957 Ford Thunderbird.
For 1957, the Ford Thunderbird underwent some visual changes. Most
notably, the front bumper was reconfigured, removing the large
chrome nacelles, and adding fog lights to the corners. This opened
the grille visually, and made it seem more like the luxurious
boulevard cruiser that it was. The "Thunderbird" inscription was
moved from the rear quarter to ahead of the front quarter panel
vent. Out back, the spare tire was moved back into the trunk, and
the rear fascia was revised. The fins were thinned out and more
pronounced, and the rear bumper featured a new design. At the
corners of the bumper, the once-subtle exhaust outlets were
replaced with wider integrated outlets. This Thunderbird was
purchased by the current owner 18 years ago, in a small Texas city.
Since purchasing the owner has done some work to update and keep
this ride on the road. In 2007 he replaced: Shocks, U-Joints,
Seals, Motor Mounts, Leaf Springs, Bushings, Ball joints, Coils,
Steering pump, and Brakes. In 2013 he replaced: Fuel tank, Fuel
pump, Hoses and rebuilt the Carburetor. This Thunderbird is powered
by a healthy sounding 312 Y-Block V-8 motor and is connected to a
3-Speed automatic transmission. Other options include: A/C-colonial
white/black & white vinyl, power seats, power steering, wide white
wall radial tires, and wire wheels. Some new owner will enjoy
taking this Thunderbird out cruising soon... will that be you? To
