The 1957 Thunderbird included a restyled front grille, rear deck and new bumpers. It was the first to have a fully padded dash surface. New features included a Volumatic Radio System which automatically increased the radio volume as the car's speed increased. While kept in production for an extra three months, the 1957 Thunderbird was the last of the classic two-seaters. The last one rolled off the assembly line Dec. 13, 1957, bringing an end to an era.
This fine example was owned by the original owner until 1990. It was then purchased by world class restorer Dave Delich of Tuscon, Arizona and was treated to a frame-off restoration. Powered by the 312ci V8 that runs great. It is highly optioned with both tops, fender skirts, automatic transmission, air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, power windows, power seat, Kelsey Hayes wire wheels and an AM radio. It is finished in Colonial White with red interior and black soft top. This is a great driving example.
