1957 Ford Thunderbird

Gateway Classic Cars of Detroit is proud to present this 1957 Ford Thunderbird. The Ford Thunderbird (colloquially called the T-Bird) is a personal luxury car produced by Ford from model years 1955 until 1997 and 2002 until 2005 throughout 11 distinct generations. Introduced as a two-seat convertible, the Thunderbird was produced in a variety of body configurations. These included a four-seat hardtop coupe, four-seat convertible, five-seat convertible and hardtop, four-door pillared hardtop sedan, six-passenger hardtop coupe, and five-passenger pillared coupe, with the final generation designed again as a two-seat convertible. The Thunderbird entered production for the 1955 model year as a sporty two-seat convertible. Unlike the Chevrolet Corvette, it was not marketed as a sports car. Ford positioned the Thunderbird as an upscale model and it is credited in developing a new market segment, the personal luxury car. Powering this 1957 Ford Thunderbird is a 312 Cubic Inch V8 backed by a Ford-O-Matic Three-Speed Automatic Transmission. Putting the Power to the ground is a Ford 9 Inch rear end with a 3.73 Gear. The Auto-Meter Gauges are a nice touch and help to ensure you are getting accurate readings from the sensors. The 4-wheel power disc brakes really aide in the drivability of this thunderbird. The Wire Wheels by Coker really adds to the look of this bird. The Black Leather Interior compliments the Silver Exterior well. Options on this 1957 Ford Thunderbird include: AM/FM Radio, Black Leather Interior, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Radial Tires, Seat Belts, and Tilt Steering Wheel.
