For Sale: 1957 Ford Thunderbird in Burr Ridge, Illinois

New arrival. Folks, we have a beautiful 1957 Ford Thunderbird 312 Special V-8 finished in black with red interior. This car hasn't been shuffled around the auctions or traded from dealer to dealer. It's a local car that's been pampered by our customer. The 1957 Thunderbird was the last two-seater Ford (any model) sold until 1982.

This first generation Thunderbird was developed in response to the 1953 Motorama display at the New York Auto Show, which showcased the Chevrolet Corvette. We have the 67th 1953 Corvette produced on our showroom floor. Check our inventory to see this freshly restored Polo White Corvette.

For the 1957 model year, the front bumper was reshaped, the grille and tail-fins were made larger, and larger taillights were fitted. The spare wheel moved back inside the trunk, which had been redesigned to allow it to be mounted vertically. The side "Thunderbird" script was moved from the fins to the front fenders
