Released in 1955. the Thunderbird had created a new vehicle niche: the personal luxury car. Equipped with big motors. lots of standard features. plush interiors and comfortable suspensions. the Thunderbird was in a class all its own.

The best yet debuted for ’57. with porthole hardtops and the biggest fins yet! Sales rose to a three year high of 21. 80 and they still remain highly collectible to this day! We are very excited to offer this 1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible!

The car rides on Thunderbird wheel covers with brand new Firestone Deluxe Champion 7. 75-14 gum-dipped whitewall tires. This Thunderbird is surviving most recently from Florida. where it has been for the last several years. Upon arriving at our facility. the car was sent off for a complete repaint with most of the chrome re-plated (including door handles. buttons. top catch. post cover. mirror bracket. pin liners. molding ends. front upper and lower bumpers. rear upper and lower bumpers. window post. vent glass retainers. horn rings. ends. centers. taillights. license plate light and emblem. Completed October ’14). In addition. the car received a new soft top. new tires from Coker. top side latches. Ford Power Punch maintenance-free battery. The engine bay has been detailed to a highly original appearance. with stickers and inspection stamps where they should be. The brake shoes were replaced and nearly all weather stripping is new. The interior and trunk compartment were left as all original. with exception to the interior floor carpeting being brand new. The mileage on the car of 12. 59 has not been verified; it is likely original and representing 112. 59. With the frame-on cosmetic restoration now completed. the car continues to drive wonderfully. with plenty of power from the 312ci V8 and smooth brake pedal feel. We would invite any interested parties to call with additional questions. We look forward to working with you!
