Although it was only around for three years, a single glance at this 1957 Ford Thunderbird reveals that quality can be far more memorable than quantity. Fully repainted in eye-catching Flame Red, with its contrasting white removable hard and convertible soft tops, this classic beauty comes complete with all the chrome and badges to remind the world just how special this car is.
Inside this two-seat sports car, we find a beautiful Colonial White pleated vinyl interior with an original-looking dashboard complete with its five-pot gauge cluster highlighted by a big 140 mph speedometer. The three-spoke, power-assisted, double-rimmed steering wheel features a Thunderbird logo center cap, reminding anyone behind the wheel that they are piloting a true classic. Heat, defrost, and an old-school AM radio round out the list of amenities on this classic.
Under the front-hinged hood, we find a period-correct 312 cubic-inch V-8 engine topped by a single four-barrel Edelbrock carburetor, which Ford advertised as producing 245 hp when the Thunderbird was new. Power from that small block is then channeled through a two-speed Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission before exiting through its dual exhaust and Xcelerator mufflers, giving this old-school roadster an authentic sound.
