1957 Ford Thunderbird

The iconic first generation T-Bird has to be one of the most loved cars on the planet. It was developed in direct response to the 1953 Motorama display by GM of the all new Corvette. You see, this was a first for the US automakers to conceive such small sporty cars but the European auto-makers were coming in droves to driveways across America in their sporty little roadsters. Dubbed the Personal Car Of Distinction, It would be lightweight and fitted with a V8 and capable of speeds over 100 MPH..A brisk luxury touring car and not a sports car. This beautiful 1957 Ford Thunderbird offered here is finished in Starmist Blue with Colonial White removable hardtop over a blue and white interior. The car is powered by its 312 CID V8 engine, automatic transmission and rear wheel driver. Highlights include: Removable Hardtop, soft top delete, power steering, Kelsey Hayes wire wheels, fender skirts, dual rear antennas, chrome dome air cleaner aluminum valve covers, classic 3 spoke steering wheel with horn ring, etc. The sports an older restoration that has held up very well. It has been cared for and maintained by the current owner for the past 13 years. The car is mechanically fit and a spirited driver. What a great opportunity to own an American Icon.
