General description :
1957 Ford Thunderbird finished in Red with Gold Accents and Tan Interior. 936 Miles since restoration. This beautiful example is powered by a 312ci 4bbl V8 and driven by an Automatic Transmission. The chrome air cleaner sets apart this engine from many others. Other features include; A/C, Rare Bird's Nest Rumble Seat Conversion, Front Disc Brake Conversion, Power Steering Dual Exhaust, Fiberglass Porthole Hard Top, Kelsey-hayes Wires with Wide Whites, Extended Rear Bumper with Continental Kit, Fender Skirts, Chrome Eyebrow Headlamp Trim, Soft Leather Upholstery, Leather Door Trim, Courtesy Lamps, Instrumentation (Clock, Gold Exterior and Engine Bay Trim), and original owners and shop manuals are included.The Ford Thunderbird was the answer to GM and the 1953 Chevrolet Corvette. In 1955, Ford decided it was their turn and gave full reigns to their team to design a two-seater that was for the everyday person. Though the first installment wasn't as fast as those from Chevy, they eventually solidified the Thunderbird as a classy two-seater with some power. 1957 would end up being the last version of the Thunderbird that was known for its sporty demeanor and allowing only two people in the cabin, as they would later redesign the car moving forward . Other standout features included a power seat, a radio that was controlled by speed, a new dash and console area, and fins that made the car show off a bit more than its predecessors. The Thunderbirds are still highly collectible and sought after in today's market. This numbers matching product is one that shouldn't be missed.For more information on this beautiful and iconic American Classic, call our friendly and knowledgeable sales team or always feel free to drop by our Bellevue, WA Park Place Ltd campus - where we have over 40,000 sq ft of indoor showrooms filled with the finest cars.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
