Vehicle Description
This 1957 Ford Thunderbird has a terrific presentation of its
awesome and correct black and red color combo. So no matter if you
are a fan of tailfins or big chrome, you'll see a level of detail
on this T-Bird that will send your nostalgia into overdrive.
There's arguably nothing more beautiful than Ford's personal
cruiser in black and chrome. This is a driver-ready vehicle. So the
factory-correct Raven Black has a nice gloss to get you noticed at
the stoplights, and an overall appearance that makes it easy to hit
the road. Fender skirts, turbine-style wheel covers, whitewalls,
hood scoop trim, and exhaust routed through the bumpers are all
part of the details that let you know the stylists were in charge
when the T-Bird was crafted.
The trim tag tells us the Flame Red interior is factory-correct,
and that's absolutely ideal. After all, the best classics are
usually red or black, but when you take the top down, you get to
showcase both colors. And the interior has an overall quality
appearance that will make you happy to share it with the world. The
moment you sit down, you are surrounded by individual style with a
machine-turned aluminum panel that flows across the dash and onto
both doors. This frames many of the intricate styling touches such
as logo embossed side panels and the red/chrome factory steering
wheel. We like how this one loves to show off this classic style,
right down to the details. This includes the pleated dash, AM radio
that still powers on, loop carpeting, and a dash light that greets
you when the door opens. There is the addition of R134a air
conditioning (it likely just needs a recharge to blow cold again)
which is always welcomed in a drop-top cruiser.
The larger D-code "Thunderbird Special" 312 cubic-inch V8 was a
nice option in '57. It looks quite correct with the bright red
block, pie dish air topper, and iconic Thunderbird logo valve
covers from the factory dress-up kit. But as a true cruiser, there
are also the right upgrades like a Holley four-barrel carburetor
and an aluminum radiator. The torque of the V8 is well paired with
the Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission and power steering for an
easier boulevard machine.
There are details to this car that you may want to update, upgrade,
or personalize, like restore the air conditioning or make some
investment to get the paint and chrome looking near-perfect. But we
already like the way this one puts itself forward. It is one of the
most ideal factory-correct color combos around, and it's presented
in a way that makes sure it's stylish while also being an easy to
enjoy cruiser. So if you're looking to be that person that everyone
remembers for driving something distinctive, call today!
