Gateway Classic Cars of Detroit is proud to present this 1957 Ford
Thunderbird Convertible for sale. In 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. Ford sold
21,380 examples of the 1957 T-Bird, making the most successful year
of the T-Bird's early three-year run. It would be replaced by a
larger, more spacious Thunderbird in 1958, leading to the
first-generation cars being referred to as "Baby Birds." This fine
example is done in the original Raven Black exterior & Raven Black
Tops (Both Hardtop & Soft top). The interior is in original color
scheme of Raven Black Vinyl & Pleated Colonial Vinyl. Powering this
iconic beauty down the road is believed to be the original 312 CID
V8 (245 HP), with a four-barrel carburetor. Helping get through the
gears is believed to be the original "Ford-O-Matic" 2-Speed
Automatic Transmission. Options on this 1957 Ford Thunderbird
Convertible include Air Conditioning, AM/FM Radio, Manual
Convertible Top, Retractable Hard Top, Vinyl Interior, and White
Walls. This 1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible is for sale in our
