For Sale: 1957 Ford Thunderbird in Lithia Springs, Georgia

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.
