Vehicle Description
You're looking at a powerful 1957 Ford Thunderbird in a rare,
distinct, and correct color. So take some time to look over all the
details, but you know better than to pause too long on this
icon.
The factory-correct code-X Dusk Rose is quite distinctive. It was
only available in '57, and it has the kind of sophisticated glow
that adds distinction through elegance. So, it's exactly the kind
of beautiful pastel everyone secretly wishes was on their first-gen
T-bird. And all your favorite hallmark elements are still in place
on this example. The form-fitting chrome king front bumper, hood
scoop, rear fender skirts, jet-inspired taillights, sporty rear
bumper with integrated exhaust ports, and so much more that all
instantly inspire nostalgia. Plus, you'll love the coordination on
the whole car. It's in the details like the way the slats in the
front fenders match the turbine-style wheel covers. Plus, with the
folding roof in place, the white matches the whitewall tires and
inner-ring of the wheel covers to give this a subtle two-tone
presentation.
And if you like the way the white looks against the exterior, then
you'll love the way it looks in the interior. The creamy color
looks nice with ample texture on the seats, dash pad, and door
panels with cool T-bird logos embossed in them. When you sit down,
there are plenty of original components on display, including the
factory Town & Country AM radio. There's a nice floor shifter for
the three-speed automatic transmission. And you even have the full
factory gauge cluster in the sporty machine-turned trim of the
dash. But that upgraded wood and chrome steering wheel on the tilt
column also tells you that this one has been upgraded... and that
feeling continues under the hood.
The larger D-code "Thunderbird Special" 312 cubic-inch V8 was a
nice option in '57, and so it's great to still have the correct
displacement under the hood today. The correct Ford red paint on
the block, chrome air cleaner, and special Thunderbird valve covers
all look great in engine bay. But keen eyes will notice some cool
upgrades, like the Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor that let's this
V8 inhale deeply. And those bright headers add flair while also
allowing this motor to exhale with more power out of the dual
exhaust. As you look at the undercarriage photos, you can see
investments in newer components. Plus, rack & pinion steering and
front disc brake upgrades are also exactly what you want to really
enjoy this classic cruiser out on the road.
This is the Thunderbird with the right color and upgrades. So if
