1957 Ford Thunderbird convertible + 2 tops - collectors car

Beautifully restored in the late 90 nineties 1957 Classic T-Bird convertible - highly valued by Collectors and as good as it gets for a 50+ year-old car! This car is original inside and out! This car has been kept in a garage, not driven in rain or in the wintertime and in a smoke-free environment. The exterior of car is Starmist blue (the most sought after color there is) with normal wear and is still very nice. The interior is a 2-tone blue/white and still near-perfect. You are getting the original 1957 Shop Owners Manual (how many times have you seen this?) The original radio was replaced with an AM/FM cassette radio that has a retro look and has been placed in the trunk of the car. Included are two tops: A removable Ivory white soft top with a clear back window, and a blue hard top with portholes, seldom used and has been garage-stored. A NEW LINING to be installed by the new owner comes with it. The car is an older restoration that is 95% rust-free. There are no patch panels, but still has been nicely maintained and never been in an accident. Due to its age, the bumper shows some pitting, but still is presentable. The clock is not in working order. A recent oil and filter change was made in June 2016.
