Powered by the 312 CI V-8 engine and an automatic transmission, the Thunderbird features Master Guide power steering, which makes it easier to guide along the road or maneuver in tight spaces. The engine is dressed with the iconic finned Thunderbird-branded valve covers and a chrome air cleaner element.
By 1957, the Ford Thunderbird had set itself well into the American psyche as a dream car. It had the right amount of flash and swagger with a respectable amount of performance on tap. Customers could option the Thunderbird with a wide array of options and amenities, creating the personal luxury car they were looking for, and that’s how Ford marketed it from the onset: not as a sports car, but as a personal car with sporting appeal.
