Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this 1957 Ford Thunderbird to
the global market. This is one of the nicest and cleanest
Thunderbirds to come through our doors. It is powered by a dual
four-barrel carbureted 312 CID V8 sending power to the rear wheels
through a 3-speed manual transmission. With just 1958 miles on the
odometer, this is a wonderful restored Thunderbird.
This bird was the recipient of a complete restoration by the
world-renown Minter Restoration company. The car retains its
original PPG windshield. The car comes with lots of documentation,
including history back to the original owner, window sticker and
sales agreement, and much more.
This extraordinary Thunderbird is finished in a beautiful Raven
Black exterior over red interior. All of the chrome trim retains
its shine both on the exterior and interior. With air conditioning,
cruising down the road is sure to be a pleasure. Both the
"porthole" hardtop and soft top remain in great condition.
Cosmetically, this 1957 T-Bird is beautiful in every way. The
interior is absolutely stunning, the seats, dash, and turned
brightwork are all awesome, the gauges beautiful as well as door
panels, etc. The exterior panel fit is excellent as well as the
paint, chrome, and trim. Under the hood is exceptionally clean as
well.
Mechanically, this T-bird is spot on. Runs and drives fantastic,
the motor runs strong, the transmission shifts proper, the power
steering, brakes, and suspension all lend to an enjoyable and
confident driving experience.
The Ford Thunderbird project was in direct response to that of the
Chevrolet Corvette, but not very similar. In fact, the number of
T-Birds sold the first 3 years of production was much greater than
the Corvette. This might have been the result of a better marketing
campaign by Ford. They were the first to market the term "personal
luxury car" vs "sports car". The original 2 seater personal luxury
car reached its pinnacle in the final year of production, 1957. The
car received some subtle styling changes upfront along with
pronounced tail fins on the rear of the car. Fords Thunderbird for
1957 still remains one of the most recognizable cars on the planet.
This example comes with many original documents as well as a
history of the previous owners. Now is your chance to own a truly
great example of a first-generation Thunderbird. Please call or
