Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Detroit is proud to present this 1957 Ford
Thunderbird. The first generation of the Ford Thunderbird is a
two-seat convertible produced by Ford for the 1955 to 1957 model
year, the first 2-seat Ford since 1938. It was developed in
response to the 1953 Motorama display at the New York Auto Show,
which showed the Chevrolet Corvette. The Corvette in turn was
developed in response to the popularity of European sports cars
among Americans. For the 1957 model year, the front bumper was
reshaped, the grille and tailfins were made larger, and larger
taillights were fitted. The spare wheel moved back inside the
trunk, which had been redesigned to allow it to be mounted
vertically. The side "Thunderbird" script was moved from the fins
to the front fenders. Powering this 1957 Ford Thunderbird is a 312
Cubic Inch V8 backed by the "Ford-o-matic" Automatic
Transmission.Finished in a beautiful red, with a white hard and
soft top give this T-bird a real classy look. To add on to that
class, is the interior which is a black and white vinyl that still
looks beautiful. Options on this 1957 Ford Thunderbird include:
AM/FM radio, 2 tops, power brakes, power steering, power windows,
and beautiful wire wheels.Don't miss out on your chance to own this
2-seater Ford T-bird!
