Description of 1957 Ford Thunderbird

You stopped to take a look at this 1957 Ford Thunderbird because it's an icon finished in iconic colors offered for an obtainable price. With a fully coordinated color combo, proper V8 power, and nice features (like the porthole hardtop), this is an irresistible deal.
Time to fall in love with the icon all over again. The form-fitting chrome bumpers, sporty hint of a hood scoop, fender skirts...it's all part of a package that gets you nostalgic the moment this personal drop-top comes into view. This first gen Thunderbird really knew how to own the boulevard. And Ford spared no expense, right down to the exhaust tips integrated into the rear bumper. The trim tag tells us this is a genuine Raven Black car. There was a respray later in life, and so you get a nice gloss that can draw real attention at the stoplights. Plus, we love the well-coordinated contrasting white. You see it on the whitewall tires and accenting the factory wheel covers. And this comes with a folding soft top and the iconic porthole hardtop - both finished in white.
If you like the way the black and white look together with the top up, then you're going to love it even more when this one is open to the world. The two-tone black and white interior is the ideal color combo, and this one was born this way! In fact, much of this presentation feels vintage and stock. These have nice details, like the artful steering wheel, machine-turned dash panel, and Thunderbird logos embossed in the door panels. So it makes for a great vintage personal cruiser. There's even a retrosound AM/FM digital tuner to let you upgrade the driving music without taking away from the classic presentation.
Under the hood is the correct-style Y-block, customer-identified, 312 V8 with a four-barrel carburetor on top. It has a nice look in the engine bay with plenty of correct details. But while you'll enjoy showing it off, this one also has been upgraded for better driving with features like a 12-volt electrical system and an alternator. It fires up readily, like a classic that's ready to hit the road. That's why you also have a three speed automatic transmission, power steering, and upgraded front disc brakes with dual master cylinder.
This is an impressive and iconic T-bird that has been in the same family since 1970. It even gives you the freedom to enjoy the survivor-style details, or leaves room in the budget if you want to upgrade this complete classic to show-stopper status. So the sky's the limit on this T-bird. Call now!
