Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this incredibly rare 1957
Ford Thunderbird E-Bird! This immaculate vehicle comes in a
spotless black paint job complemented by a clean two tone black and
white interior. Powering the Thunderbird is believed to be the
original, numbers matching 312 cubic inch V8 motor with the highly
sought after E-Bird option. Putting the power to the ground is a
crisp automatic transmission. Standard features of the Ford include
power steering, power brakes, functional heat, removable hard top,
soft top and more. The soft top is in excellent condition and
functions as it should. Additionally, a full ground up restoration
was completed on the T-bird roughly 4 years ago making this example
one you truly have to see to believe. So, if you have been in the
market for a show ready classic not often seen, this Thunderbird is
the vehicle for you. Please contact us today for more
information.
The Ford Thunderbird hit the market in 1955 in was a direct
response to the Chevrolet Corvette. While the Corvette aimed to
impress with performance, the T-bird was all about style and
substance. Dubbed the first "personal car" by Ford, it was
described as a direct descendant of the bespoke 1930s roadsters and
was aimed as a brisk grand tourer. It was light for its era and the
powerful V8 could propel it to around 120 mph. The 1955 model
featured the proven 292cid Y-block V8 and had bumper mounted
exhausts and a trunk-mounted spare tire.
