Vehicle Description
You're looking at a powerful 1957 Ford Thunderbird in a rare,
distinct, and correct color. So take some time to look over all the
details, but you know better than to pause too long on this icon or
it will be gone.
The factory-correct code-X Dusk Rose is quite distinctive. It was
only available in '57, and it has the kind of sophisticated glow
that adds distinction through elegance. So, it's exactly the kind
of beautiful pastel everyone secretly wishes was on their first-gen
T-bird. And all your favorite hallmark elements are still in place
on this example. The form-fitting chrome front bumper, hood scoop,
rear fender skirts, jet-inspired taillights, sporty rear bumper
with integrated exhaust ports, and so much more that all instantly
inspire nostalgia. Plus, you'll love the coordination on the whole
car. It's in the details like the way the slats in the front
fenders match the turbine-style wheel covers. You have the iconic
porthole hardtop, and when it's in place, the white goes with the
whitewall tire and inner ring of the wheel cover for a very subtle
two-tone presentation.
There's even more of the subtle white style inside. It helps to
highlight some of the best details, like the door panels with
Thunderbird logos embedded and the tuck and roll style inserts of
the seats. But high traffic areas like the armrests, carpeting, and
steering wheel are done in black. The result is a useful classic
with an interior that's as appealing as formalwear. This is a true
cruiser-ready car. You have nice factory details, like a telescopic
steering column, wind wings, and a tach. There are even
well-integrated upgrades, like the retro-style AM/FM digital tuner
w/cassette.
The larger D-code "Thunderbird Special" 312 cubic-inch V8 was a
worthwhile option in '57, and so it's nice 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 the engine bay. There's even a
Holley four-barrel carburetor that lets this V8 inhale deeply. It
fires up readily like a classic that wants to hit the road. And
features like the three-speed automatic transmission, power
steering, modern cruising tires, and a supple ride all keep this
T-bird a true boulevard classic.
This is the iconic Thunderbird with all the right classic style you
love - right down to the factory color. So if you want a distinct
and powerful icon, call today!
