1957 Ford Thunderbird

1957 Ford Thunderbird Car History The Ford Thunderbird was manufactured by Ford in the United States over eleven model generations from 1955 through 2005 and it created a market niche that eventually became known as the personal luxury car. The Thunderbird was revised for 1957 with a reshaped front bumper, a larger grille and tailfins, and larger tail lamps. The instrument panel was heavily re-styled with round gauges in a single pod, and the rear of the car was lengthened, allowing the spare tire to be positioned back in the trunk. This 1957 Ford Thunderbird we have at Adventure Classics has been restored and is in the gorgeous color of Black with the black/white interior with both tops including the convertible top and the black paint matching Porthole hardtop. Features: Raven Black Engine-312-V8 3-Speed Automatic Porthole Top & Black Soft Top Raven Black & White Interior Power Steering Power Front Disc Brakes Power Seat Wire Wheels with White Walls Engine & Drivetrain The engine in our T-Bird is equipped with the desirable D code option which offered a 312 cu in V8 with 4-barrell carb which had become the Thunderbirds standard engine, and now produced 245 horsepower in 1957 which was more horsepower than most other small block V8s of the time. Ours has been restored to factory levels as well as the factory dress up kit with the correct finned Thunderbird valve covers, power steering, power front disc brakes, dual master brake cylinders, cast iron factory exhaust manifolds, and the correct chrome air cleaner assembly that gets fresh air through the fully functional hood scoop. It is backed by the Ford-O-Matic automatic 3-Speed transmission that shifts perfect and the exhaust system is good with a great sound and with the car wearing a set of wire wheels and wide-white wall tires. Interior The interior has the Pleated Raven Black and Pleated Colonial White interior with door panels that match the dash. The dash consists of the factory tach and gauges, AM/FM stereo radio system with the gauges in original condition that look great in the machine turned dash. It also comes with a very rare option of a Power Seat. It has the correct black carpets and seat belts, T-Bird black/chrome steering wheel, chrome automatic shifter on the floor, accessory gauges, and that black padded dash. Exterior The Black paint is super looking as it flows over the bodywork with fit and finish nicely done and is very deep and shiny. The graceful fins and body lines have straight panels, and the taillight end caps round out the rear end of the car. Other details like the Thunderbird badges, dual mirrors, rear bumper with integrated exhaust outlets, and the stainless trim on the fender skirts are all great, plus it also comes with both the famous Thunderbirds Porthole top and a Convertible top in black. Conclusion Our 1957 Ford Thunderbird is beautiful in black, from top to bottom, and more fun to drive anywhere! You will enjoy the iconic Thunderbird look as well as driving with the Porthole top, or feeling the breeze with its Convertible Top down.
