While the cool blue covering this '57 T-bird isn't the original color, it is very fitting on this classic Ford. The 312 cubic inch V8 cradled snugly under hood was the top of the line engine offered, and did a fine job of making this sporty roadster scoot all over town. With a nice Azure Blue paint laid over the body and removable hard top of this classic, one can't help but be drawn back to a simpler time Power Seats

It's a daydream a lot of us classic car guys may have had at one point in time. However, few of us actually have the opportunity to live it - even still, in an iconic american car like the 1957 ford thunderbird. Two cars literally defined the newfound freedom of the 1950s: the chevrolet corvette and the ford thunderbird. Eventually, chevrolet took their corvette to the racetrack, while ford continued to turn their thunderbird into the ultimate boulevard king. Now, over sixty years later, first generation corvettes are cool, but first generation thunderbirds are more endearing. It really doesn't get better than this in the way of 50's american collector cars. Bodywork/trim this largely-original t-bird was daily driven in utah until someone in indiana purchased it and had it shipped across the country. Then it changed hands again in indiana to a farmer, and in august 2014 the current owner paul purchased it, making him the 4th owner of this car. Paul then did a complete frame off restoration on it. Paul jumped in pretty quickly and started the frame off after taking ownership of it. Once he completed it in spring of 2016 this thunderbird hit the road as a clean, body-off restored classic that wraps all-original sheet metal around a roster of original components. The thunderbird was ford's refined response to chevrolet's crude corvette. And when introduced in 1955, it outsold chevy's newly minted halo by almost 24 to 1. Part of the reason for that big success was the car's versatile mix of american substance and european aesthetic. At the front of this 'bird, a stainless egg-crate grille rides between clean headlights, chrome-trimmed parking lamps, an intricate header emblem and a bulleted bumper that bends around peaked fenders. Between those fenders, a classy hood scoop leads the eye to a wraparound windshield that's reflected in a correct chrome mirror, cleared by polished stainless wipers and framed in thick chrome trim. At the top of that trim, a colonial white hard top latches down over a white soft top as a part of ford's innovative dual-roof system. Below those roofs, sculpted door handles and stainless-trimmed fender skirts perfectly complement sedate louvers and flowing "thunderbird" scripts. And at the back of the car, chrome-trimmed, jet-inspired taillights center an intricate trunk emblem above a second wraparound bumper. Introduced in 1956, this stout little y-block remained an option in blue oval staples well into the mid-70s. At the top of the bright orange mill, a functional hood scoop funnels wind into a mirrored and decaled air cleaner that's perched on a big holley carburetor. The carb is bolted to a color correct intake manifold and cast-iron heads that are topped by polished and thunderbird-branded valve covers. At the front of those covers, a rebuilt generator spins 12 volts of electricity beside a vintage ac fuel bowl and pliable fomoco hoses. From its glossy fenders to its chrome oil filler, this roadster's bay presents a clean, highly detailed appearance. And best of all, the spry engine fires instantly and sounds surprisingly beefy breathing through brash turbo mufflers and restored factory manifolds. Drivetrain/suspension at the bottom of this thunderbird, a fully sorted undercarriage houses solid floors that are bolted to a roster of proven components. Nice enough to show but still fully drivable, this is the perfect compromise for enthusiasts who like to display their car and still enjoy the occasional top-down weekend. Behind the aforementioned y-block, an overhauled ford-o-matic 3-speed spins power to what appears to be a traditional ford 9-inch. The car's suspension remains in its original configuration, with control arms up front and leafs out back. Braking is quick and adequate thanks to power-assisted drums. All of the chassis' parts feature a weather-free appearance, reinforcing the idea that it's been a very long time since this 'bird's seen daily-driver duty. And on the outside of those parts, color-keyed wheels spin 205/75r14 american classic whitewalls around white-trimmed center caps. Interior: colonial white paint is legendary for its characteristically upscale feel. And when paired with this thunderbird's bright white roof and rich red vinyl interior, it creates the perfect culmination of class and sophistication. Thanks to the car's quality restoration, its pleated bench seat is livable for years to come. There's tight carpet that, thanks to thick, color-keyed mats, features a fluffy red tint. Front and center, classy telemetry and a familiar town and country radio look great inside engine-turned bezels. In the middle of the floor, a chrome shifter feels both firm and precise. In front of the driver, a glossy steering wheel spins a chrome horn ring around a mirrored steering column. At the sides of the passengers, scuff-free door panels center perfectly placed armrests below pristine, engine-turned trim. And behind the soft top, a fully restored trunk centers a full-size spare tire between a fresh mat and old school jack. Sale includes the following: - hardtop - the car's owner's handbook - factory invoice /build page - factory and aftermarket literature - restoration notes and receipts - some restoration photos there's a reason these cars have built a legacy of cruising, seeing, being seen and looking fantastic.

The ford thunderbird began life in february 1953 in direct response to chevrolets new sports car, the corvette, which was publicly unveiled in prototype form just a month before. Under rapid development, the thunderbird went from idea to prototype in about a year, being unveiled to the public at the detroit auto show on february 20, 1954. Production of the thunderbird began later on in 1954 on september 9 with the car beginning sales as a 1955 model on october 22, 1954. Though sharing some design characteristics with other fords of the time, such as single, circular headlamps and tail lamps and modest tailfins, the thunderbird was sleeker and more athletic in shape, and had features like a faux hood scoop and a 140 mph speedometer hinting a higher performance nature that other fords didnt possess. This particular thunderbird has undergone a partial restoration, and is in fantastic driver quality condition. The list of mechanical that have been replaced is extensive: the brake master cylinder, shoes, wheel cylinder, power booster, and slave cylinder, power steering assembly and steering box, heater core and valve, heater control panel, oil pump, all belts and hoses, stabilizer bar, ends and bushings, shocks, rear axle and front wheel bearings, and full exhaust system. Additionally, the radiator was vatted and rodded, the holley carburetor was rebuilt. The interior wasn't forgotten on this restoration either, as the whole interior has been redone including the carpets and headliner. All in all, this adds up to a porthole window d-code baby bird that really is a joy to drive. It is hard to not look good driving a thunderbird, especially when it is a t-bird that looks this good.

The atlanta showroom is offering this 1957 ford thunderbird for sale. Thanks to franklin q. Hershey & william p. Boyer, ford had a car that combined the flair of a sports car and the comfort of a boulevard cruiser, the thunderbird. However, a slight sales decline in 1956 sent ford designers back to their drawing boards. The labor resulted in the consummate two-seat thunderbird. Other less visible improvements included larger openings for improved cooling, revised spring rates, larger brakes, stiffer chassis crossmembers, a 12-volt electrical system and new 14-inch wheels. These evolutionary steps enabled a more stable and capable handling thunderbird and its spare tire back in the trunk. Marketed as a spacious, luxurious boulevardier, the thunderbird was introduced in 1955 in response to the chevrolet corvette, which had been launched two years earlier. This two top t-bird had a frame off restoration about 4 years ago. Options include, radial tires, hard and soft top, vintage air. Gatewayclassiccars. Com. Power Windows
