Vehicle Description
The 1957 Thunderbird is considered by many to be the most desirable
year for the model, as it introduced slight changes to the 1956
styling that resonated very well with the public. The rear of the
body was lengthened by six inches, allowing for more luggage space
and room for a spare tire, and additional engine options were also
offered. It also marked the final year of first-generation
Thunderbird production.
