Vehicle Description
1957 FORD THUNDERBIRD
TWO TOPS & HIGHLY OPTIONED
We just acquired this really nice 46,000 original mile 1957
Thunderbird from a local guy who had bought it for his wife about 7
years ago. He told us that her parents had one just like it back in
the day and that the car reminded her of a more simple time. We
were told that the car was initially bought out of southwest Texas
where it had been all of it's life. He also told us that he spent a
lot of time and money repairing and replacing most of it's
mechanical systems so his wife would have a comfortable, safe and
carefree ride.
The body is all original and solid as a rock and rust free
including the floors, trunk & frame. It was repainted in it's
original "EE" Colonial White sometime ago in single stage paint and
is driver quality at best. It still looks good and shines well but
there are some minor imperfections, cracks, chips & scratches as to
be expected from an older restoration. Same goes for the chrome,
trim & weather stripping. It does have both hard & soft tops which
are all in good condition. The interior is also in very nice
condition. It was recently restored in original code "XL" Dresden
Blue & Starmist Blue and looks great. Powered by it's original
312c.i. V4 engine that runs really good, smooth & strong. It has
some nice updates too including a 12 volt alternator conversion
using the correct wiring harnesses etc... It is backed by it's
original 2 speed automatic transmission and rear differential.
Other features include, power windows, power steering, power disc
brakes (front only) ice cold dealer installed air conditioning
(converted to R134) Town & Country radio, new wide white wall
radial tires. This car had most of it's mechanical systems rebuilt
or redone new including the steering, the front & rear suspension,
the fuel tank & fuel lines and the brakes front & rear & lines too.
We took her out on the highway today and was totally impressed on
how nice she cruises at 65mph. A real dream to drive !!
