Ford Thunderbird 1957

Allmän beskrivning : There's really no such thing as an undesirable Thunderbird. But, in the name of variety, a lot of vintage 'birds have been transformed into insular hot rods that just aren't as cool as their pure, correctly restored peers. That's why this choice drop-top is so appealing. Benefitting from acute restoration, it wraps a smooth Ford-O-Matic transmission and 312 cubic inches of hot Thunderbird V8 in clean, all-American sheetmetal that's both attractive and timeless. In the market for a cool rendition of a legendary collector car? This awesome roadster could be the literal interpretation of your next classic!
AHEAD OF ITS TIME
Reflecting glowing Azure Blue two-stage paint under a choice of two white tops, this curvaceous convertible was carefully massaged back to life during a comprehensive restoration. Detailing begins with a bulleted bumper, which props a broad stainless grille under hooded headlights and a teal-trimmed Thunderbird header. Behind that header, a classy hood scoop leads stainless-trimmed glass that's cleared by polished wipers and reflected in a factory mirror. Below that greenhouse, a finned profile points factory skirts under ornate louvers and flowing 'Thunderbird' scripts. And at the back of the car, chrome-trimmed, jet-inspired taillights center an intricate trunk emblem between tilted antennas and a second wraparound bumper that's fashioned around true-dual exhaust.
THUNDERBIRD SHOW, FORD-O-MATIC GO
Tilt the hood and you'll find 312 cubic inches of dressed Thunderbird power! Introduced in 1956, Ford's stout Y-block V8 remained an option in blue oval staples well into the mid-1970s. Bottom-side, a correct Ford-O-Matic transmission twists torque through a factory-spec rear axle. That drivetrain hangs in a sturdy, road-ready X-frame that's founded on a fully restored double A-arm front and solid axle rear suspension. At the corners of the car, power-assisted drum brakes complement good handling characteristics with solid and confident stops. Those handling characteristics are easily explored through factory power steering. Exhaust is managed by aluminized pipes, which span big resonators and throaty turbo mufflers. And power meets the pavement through attractive chrome wire wheels, which spin white-walled BF Goodrich Silvertown Radial tires.
TIMELESS IN WHITE
In keeping with this roadster's high performance theme, interior outfitting remains minimal, with high quality restoration pieces providing vivid white and turquoise vinyl plenty of long-term durability. Front and center, a stylish dash wraps engine-turned trim around rebuilt gauges, modern air conditioning and modern, direct-fit audio. At the middle of the floor, a petite chrome shifter floats between Thunderbird-themed floor mats. Ornate side panels front lucid power windows. And the driver spins a classy, Azure-laced steering wheel.
A highly desirable drop-top that wraps well-maintained restoration around a storied V8 and a smooth, automatic transmission, this fabulous T-Bird offers a little something for everyone. And what's better: it's exactly the kind of classic that provides endless fun on the highway and celebrity status in the parking lot. Don't miss the opportunity to experience a stellar piece of American automotive history!

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.
