Vehicle Description
This 1957 Ford Thunderbird is one striking total package. Sleek
paint, wire wheels, an A/C interior, both tops, and a proper V8
under the hood represent the kind of car you'd likely describe as
the "perfect iconic cruiser." And the paperwork is even
exceptional.
The trim tag tells us this was born a Colonial White car. The
factory-correct color was given a quality respray later in life, so
it still carries an excellent shine today. And you can tell there's
an overall look of quality with the details like straight body
lines and good gaps. The white looks great coordinating with the
whitewall tires and detestable hardtop for a very elegant total
style. Or you can put up the well-fitting black folding soft top
and have the same kind of formal appeal as a white coat tuxedo. The
brightwork is a key part of a 1950s legend like this. So it's great
to see it all looking brilliant on the stylish bumpers, grille,
hood scoop, and a full set of wire wheels. They even kept the
details nice, like the rear fender skirts and the exhaust still
exits neatly through the rear bumper. So it all comes together for
a quality cruiser package.
When you take the top down/off, the white exterior makes the red
interior stand out, and the trim tag says this was born this way.
The seat, carpeting, door panels, and dash have a quality and fresh
feel that gets the fundamentals right. Even the dash courtesy light
and clock are working. You'll love slipping behind the artful
steering wheel, and this cruiser feels sporty thanks to the
machine-turned dash panel, floor shifter, and full gauge package
with tach. You have desirable features like power windows, a power
seat, and an upgraded AM/FM stereo for better driving music. Plus,
the addition of cold-blowing R134a air conditioning makes this a
truly cool cruiser.
More of that time capsule and quality feeling comes when you open
the hood. It's a bright, tidy, and correct presentation. You'll
appreciate seeing nice elements like the pie dish air cleaner with
gasket, the big red block, and the Thunderbird-specific valve
covers. But beneath the aesthetics of that great-looking engine bay
is some real substance. This D-code T-bird correctly has the larger
312 cubic-inch V8, and it inhales deeply through a Holley
four-barrel carburetor. This gives plenty of authority to the sound
from the dual exhaust. The undercarriage photos show a clean
presentation that gives you a confident feeling on the road. You
also have easy driving features like power steering, power brakes,
and an automatic transmission.
The sale comes complete with the original window sticker, service
manuals, and maintenance records. The clean and attractive style
over every inch makes this Thunderbird a beautiful icon that's
irresistible. Call today!!!
