For Sale: 1957 Ford Thunderbird in Ft Worth, Texas

Although it was only around for three years, a single glance at this 1957 Ford Thunderbird reveals that quality can be far more memorable than quantity. Fully repainted in this stunning, rich, and vivid blue, with its contrasting white removable hard top, and dark blue convertible soft top, this classic beauty comes complete with all the chrome and badges to remind the world just how special this car is.

Inside this two-seat sports car, we find a matching blue two-tone pleated vinyl interior with an original-looking dashboard complete with its five-pot gauge cluster highlighted by a big 140 mph speedometer. The three-spoke, double-rimmed steering wheel features a Thunderbird logo center cap, reminding anyone behind that wheel that they are piloting a true classic. Heat, defrost, air-conditioning, power seats, and windows, along with an upgraded AM/FM cassette stereo, round out the list of amenities on this classic.

Under the front-hinged hood, we find a period-correct 312 cubic-inch V-8 engine. Topped with a single four-barrel Holley carburetor and upgraded with an aluminum radiator and dual electric fans, this small block produced an advertised 245 hp when the Thunderbird was new. Power from that motor is then channeled through a two-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission before exiting through its dual exhaust and stock-style mufflers, giving this old-school roadster an authentic sound.
