1957 Ford Thunderbird

The first generation of the Ford Thunderbird is a two-seat convertible produced by Ford Motor Company for the 1955 to 1957 model years. The first 2-seat Ford since 1938, the Thunderbird was developed at nearly the same time as the Chevrolet Corvette. Rather than becoming a rival to the European sports cars imported into the United States, Ford created a new completely new market segment around the Thunderbird, the personal luxury car. While a performance car in its own right, the Thunderbird focused more on comfort than speed. This particular Thunderbird was restored and owned by Amos Minter. This particular vehicle is powered by the 312cu Y block V8 and is mated to a 3 speed automatic. The Torch Red exterior is in excellent condition with minor blemishes.
