Vehicle Description
This gorgeous 1957 Ford Thunderbird is an exceptional example of
the thoroughly re-styled for 1957 Thunderbird that featured a new
longer tail section with prominent fins. This provided greater
luggage space while enabling the spare wheel to be relocated to the
trunk, thus improving handling. Despite its success, the original
Thunderbird concept was soon abandoned and a larger - and slower -
four-seat version was introduced for 1958, a move that turned the
early two-seater cars into collectors' items seemingly
overnight.
The sporting Ford is presented in beautiful condition inside and
out, clearly benefiting from a comprehensive and well-maintained
restoration. The appealing color of Starmist Blue with a matching
removable hardtop, as well as a contrasting Dark Blue soft top
create a look that is sophisticated and elegant. A set of Sports
Roadster-style chrome wire wheels fitted with 7.50-14 Coker Classic
wide whitewall tires enhances its appeal. The interior is
authentically restored in two-tone Dresden/Starmist Blue vinyl and
is equipped with power brakes, electric power steering, Town &
Country radio and upgraded cold-blowing air conditioning charged
with modern 134a.

Completed at the Dearborn, Michigan Ford plant, this 1957
Thunderbird E-Code represents the final production year of the
classic, two-seat Thunderbird, featuring the larger 312ci OHV V8
engine topped with the optional twin Holley carburetors and rated
for a healthy 270 horsepower. Of the 21,380 Thunderbirds produced
in 1957, just 1,363, or a touch over 6%, were ticked with the
E-Code option. This Thunderbird is now fitted with an authentic
single four-barrel intake manifold, carburetor and air cleaner for
ease of maintenance and drivability; however, the original "E" Code
intake, dual carbs, and air cleaner go with the car.
