This is an original 1957 Ford Thunderbird convertible with both hard (white) and soft (black) tops. One original owner with original bill of sale, purchased July 19, 1957 at Christensen & Weiss Motors, Elmhurst, NY. Always garaged and properly maintained. Runs nicely! This was my father’s primary car throughout my life. Upon his retirement, he set out to refurbish it. 224,000 original miles with the engine (312 cu. inch /V8) rebuilt at 188,000 by Ford with their guarantee.
