Vehicle Description
A 1957 Ford Thunderbird with a cruiser-ready color combo is a true
standard in classic elegance. So it would be one of the last ones
out there that people would think could also blow their doors off
everyone else. That's the beauty of being a rare E-code car with
the correct 312ci V8 with dual-quad carbs under the hood!
Colonial White and wide whitewall tires are a very sophisticated
way to arrive anywhere. But this is also a hot E-Bird, so the red
pothole hardtop adds spiciness to its elegance. So yes, this car
gets noticed for more than just its rare power package. Plus,
there's a terrific shine to all that iconic bright work. It starts
with the large grille cradled by the 1957 car's exclusive smoother
and contoured bumper. There's intricate bright trim around the
windshield, rear fender skirt, and hardtop. All this chrome ends in
the bold jet-inspired rear with a bumper so integral that the
exhaust exits through its corners. It has a great cruiser style
because, after all, a dual-quad T-Bird was made for driving. You
will need to put some additional work into it if you want to
upgrade from a car show to concours. But considering 1957 is often
the most sought-after year, it's believed less than 1,500
ultra-desirable E-Birds were ever made. The constant demand always
seems to justify any level of investment. According to the owner,
this car has never been traditionally washed, nor in the rain. The
mileage on the odometer is believed to be since built. As the story
goes, it was reset during the restoration.
Since the red hardtop looks so distinct, we're especially glad you
can remove it and have a full red interior. There are nice features
like plush carpeting, power windows, a grippy color-matched
steering wheel, and side wind wings, and the dash light greets you
when you open the door. It's such a vintage feeling that even the
AM radio is there for display. Plus, Thunderbird fans always love
to see the premium Dial O Matic seat. It lets you know that a
memory power seat isn't just something you find in a modern
Mercedes! We especially like the '57 T-Bird because of the sporty
feeling of the layout. The machine-turned dash was always a nice
feature, and this year also got a revised gauge layout that put
everything right in front, including the handy tach.
Since the engine makes for such a desirable classic, this one
ensures it's ready to be displayed on day one. Everything is in
place, from the premium Thunderbird valve covers to the correct
washer fluid bag. So you can tell it has been properly maintained
to remain a strong cruiser. And, of course, you've noticed that
distinctive air cleaner by now. That's the sign of the dual
four-barrel carburetors of the rare E-code 312 cubic-inch V8. This
270 hp performance upgrade gave the Thunderbird the ability to run
with the Corvettes, and you can even control it with the
three-speed manual transmission. But superior muscles is not the
reason you buy this car. This was Ford's luxury vehicle. An E-Bird
Thunderbird is about having the confidence to out-muscle lesser
classics but the maturity to enjoy the leisure that power steering
and a relaxed suspension provide.
This is a rarity, elegance, and fun all-in-one icon. So it's your
choice to envy this T-Bird on this page or be the one creating envy
with it out on the streets. Call now!
