This gorgeous, highly-optioned 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.
This sporting Ford is presented in beautiful condition inside and
out, clearly benefiting from an older comprehensive and
well-maintained older restoration. The appealing color of Flame Red
with a Colonial White removable hardtop, as well as a contrasting
White soft top create a look that is sophisticated and sporty. A
set of correct wheels fitted with wide whitewall radial tires
enhances its appeal. The interior is authentically restored in
two-tone black and white vinyl and is well-equipped with power
brakes, power steering, power windows, power seat, Town & Country
radio and aftermarket under-dash cold-blowing air conditioning.
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 and highly-desirable 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, making this bird rarer than
most.
