White

This 1957 Ford Thunderbird, sporting its original Flame Red paint, is a museum-quality masterpiece just a few years out of a full Amos Minter frame-off restoration. The vibrant Flame Red hue dances in the light, a modern interpretation that pays homage to the T-Bird's classic lines. And we would never say anything is "perfect", but the paint quality remains pretty spectacular, even today. It's evident that it was laid down very skillfully and then meticulously maintained ever since. LED headlights add a touch of contemporary flair to the timeless design and Kelsey-Hayes style 14" wire wheels wrapped in 205/75R14 Coker Classic whitewalls complete the look, a perfect blend of vintage elegance and modern reliability. The hardtop is in excellent shape, and a tonneau cover is included if you opt for open-air adventures.  The red vinyl interior is a stunning complement to the exterior, presenting like new. The bench seat features fresh upholstery and seatbelts for added safety. The dash, cluster, aluminum trim, steering wheel, and knobs are all in impeccable condition, as are the door panels and white vinyl headliner overhead. Modern conveniences abound, including a 4-way power seat, power windows, and even air conditioning (although the A/C's blower motor does seem to need some attention). Every gauge lights up, a testament to the thoroughness of the restoration.  Under the hood lies a rebuilt 312 c.i. - 245HP Thunderbird Special V8 - D Series engine. Topped with a Holley 4-barrel carb, it provides plenty of power, delivered smoothly through a 2-speed Ford-O-Matic transmission. Power steering and power front disc brakes make for effortless driving and the undercarriage is as impressive as the engine bay, with fully rebuilt suspension components. In addition, an Optima red top battery is tucked away in the trunk for a clean look and optimal weight distribution.

A 1957 Ford Thunderbird with a cruiser-ready color combo is a true standard in classic elegance.  So it would be one of the last ones out there that people would think could also blow their doors off everyone else. That's the beauty of being a rare E-code car with the correct 312ci V8 with dual-quad carbs under the hood!  Colonial White and wide whitewall tires are a very sophisticated way to arrive anywhere.  But this is also a hot E-Bird, so the red pothole hardtop adds spiciness to its elegance.  So yes, this car gets noticed for more than just its rare power package.  Plus, there's a terrific shine to all that iconic bright work.  It starts with the large grille cradled by the 1957 car's exclusive smoother and contoured bumper.  There's intricate bright trim around the windshield, rear fender skirt, and hardtop. All this chrome ends in the bold jet-inspired rear with a bumper so integral that the exhaust exits through its corners.  It has a great cruiser style because, after all, a dual-quad T-Bird was made for driving. You will need to put some additional work into it if you want to upgrade from a car show to concours.  But considering 1957 is often the most sought-after year, it's believed less than 1,500 ultra-desirable E-Birds were ever made. The constant demand always seems to justify any level of investment. According to the owner, this car has never been traditionally washed, nor in the rain. The mileage on the odometer is believed to be since built. As the story goes, it was reset during the restoration.   Since the red hardtop looks so distinct, we're especially glad you can remove it and have a full red interior.  There are nice features like plush carpeting, power windows, a grippy color-matched steering wheel, and side wind wings, and the dash light greets you when you open the door. It's such a vintage feeling that even the AM radio is there for display.  Plus, Thunderbird fans always love to see the premium Dial O Matic seat. It lets you know that a memory power seat isn't just something you find in a modern Mercedes! We especially like the '57 T-Bird because of the sporty feeling of the layout.  The machine-turned dash was always a nice feature, and this year also got a revised gauge layout that put everything right in front, including the handy tach.    Since the engine makes for such a desirable classic, this one ensures it's ready to be displayed on day one.  Everything is in place, from the premium Thunderbird valve covers to the correct washer fluid bag. So you can tell it has been properly maintained to remain a strong cruiser.  And, of course, you've noticed that distinctive air cleaner by now.  That's the sign of the dual four-barrel carburetors of the rare E-code 312 cubic-inch V8.  This 270 hp performance upgrade gave the Thunderbird the ability to run with the Corvettes, and you can even control it with the three-speed manual transmission.  But superior muscles is not the reason you buy this car.  This was Ford's luxury vehicle.  An E-Bird Thunderbird is about having the confidence to out-muscle lesser classics but the maturity to enjoy the leisure that power steering and a relaxed suspension provide.  This is a rarity, elegance, and fun all-in-one icon.  So it's your choice to envy this T-Bird on this page or be the one creating envy with it out on the streets. Call now! 

 312 V8 Engine  3 Speed Automatic Transmission (Ford-O-Matic)  Power Steering  Front Disc Brakes  Holley Four Barrel Carburetor  Colonial White Paint  Convertible Top (White Vinyl)  Accessory Hard Top (White Fiberglass)  Chrome Wire Wheels in Whitewall Tires  Dual Exhaust with Aftermarket Mufflers  Colonial White with Raven  Colonial Trim Interior  Vinyl Bench Seating  Aftermarket AM/FM Radio with Auxiliary Input  Floor Shifter  High-End Restoration  Mostly Stock Specs with Subtle Upgrades for Improved Drivability 

This 1957 Ford Thunderbird is one striking total package.  Sleek paint, wire wheels, an A/C interior, both tops, and a proper V8 under the hood represent the kind of car you'd likely describe as the "perfect iconic cruiser." And the paperwork is even exceptional.  The trim tag tells us this was born a Colonial White car. The factory-correct color was given a quality respray later in life, so it still carries an excellent shine today. And you can tell there's an overall look of quality with the details like straight body lines and good gaps. The white looks great coordinating with the whitewall tires and detestable hardtop for a very elegant total style. Or you can put up the well-fitting black folding soft top and have the same kind of formal appeal as a white coat tuxedo. The brightwork is a key part of a 1950s legend like this. So it's great to see it all looking brilliant on the stylish bumpers, grille, hood scoop, and a full set of wire wheels.  They even kept the details nice, like the rear fender skirts and the exhaust still exits neatly through the rear bumper.  So it all comes together for a quality cruiser package.  When you take the top down/off, the white exterior makes the red interior stand out, and the trim tag says this was born this way. The seat, carpeting, door panels, and dash have a quality and fresh feel that gets the fundamentals right. Even the dash courtesy light and clock are working. You'll love slipping behind the artful steering wheel, and this cruiser feels sporty thanks to the machine-turned dash panel, floor shifter, and full gauge package with tach.  You have desirable features like power windows, a power seat, and an upgraded AM/FM stereo for better driving music.  Plus, the addition of cold-blowing R134a air conditioning makes this a truly cool cruiser.  More of that time capsule and quality feeling comes when you open the hood. It's a bright, tidy, and correct presentation. You'll appreciate seeing nice elements like the pie dish air cleaner with gasket, the big red block, and the Thunderbird-specific valve covers. But beneath the aesthetics of that great-looking engine bay is some real substance. This D-code T-bird correctly has the larger 312 cubic-inch V8, and it inhales deeply through a Holley four-barrel carburetor. This gives plenty of authority to the sound from the dual exhaust. The undercarriage photos show a clean presentation that gives you a confident feeling on the road. You also have easy driving features like power steering, power brakes, and an automatic transmission.  The sale comes complete with the original window sticker, service manuals, and maintenance records.  The clean and attractive style over every inch makes this Thunderbird a beautiful icon that's irresistible. Call today!!!
