Vehicle Description
A rare factory color, V8 power, and serious style all come together
on this 1957 Ford Thunderbird. It makes for an attractive classic,
especially at this value price.
The factory-correct Thunderbird Bronze is quite distinctive. Only
offered in 1957, it's one of the rare colors that knows how to
impress with little effort. A product of an older restoration, this
car still shows quite well, suggesting that the work was done
right. Its sophisticated glow will make a huge impact at shows. So,
it's exactly the kind of hue everyone secretly wishes was on their
first-gen T-bird. Plus, everything remains clean and complete,
including all your favorite hallmark elements are still in place on
this example. The deeply dipping front bumper, bright grille, hood
scoop, and jet-inspired taillights all make this a distinctive
cruiser. And sporty rear bumper still has the integrated exhaust
ports. The designer gave this the right details, like how the slats
in the front fenders match the turbine-style wheel covers. When you
put the Colonial White hardtop in place, it coordinates with the
whitewall tires and inner-ring of the wheel covers to give this a
subtle two-tone presentation.
While the formal roof gives this the look of a dignified coupe, we
all really love these T-birds with the top off. This one looks
especially nice with the coordinating bronze interior. It's a solid
presentation everywhere from the dash pad to the carpeting, and so
that gives this first-gen car a full precious metal feeling inside
and out. There are some nice extra here, like the newer seat
covers, and there is a wool dash mat specifically done with the
Thunderbird logo. The 1957 car was catching up to Chevrolet's
Corvette, and so they had some added sporty style to go with the
personal luxury image. This one seems to show that off well. The
machine-turned panels on the dash and doors shine bright. And the
full gauge package includes a working tach, which goes particularly
handy with the floor shifter.
The larger D-code "Thunderbird Special" 312 cubic-inch V8 was a
nice option in '57, and so it's ideal 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. This V8 fires up eagerly as it
inhales deeply with the four-barrel carburetor. It idles nicely and
makes a dignified tune from the dual exhaust. So you'll love taking
full control of the motor with the three-speed manual transmission
and hitting the open road.
This is the Thunderbird with the right look and the right price. So
if you want a distinct and powerful icon, call today!
