The Ford Thunderbird hit the market in 1955 in was a direct response to the Chevrolet Corvette. While the Corvette aimed to impress with performance, the T-bird was all about style and substance. Dubbed the first "personal car" by Ford, it was described as a direct descendant of the bespoke 1930s roadsters and was aimed as a brisk grand tourer. It was light for its era and the powerful V8 could propel it to around 120 mph. The 1957 model...featured the proven 292cid Y-block V8 and had updated styling features. GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this nice 1957 Thunderbird for your consideration. The car is finished in Raven Black and is quite eye catching. The paint is nice and the body is pretty clean. There are some imperfections here and there. The chrome trim is very nice and the car rides on knock off wheels with whitewall tires. A factory color matched hardtop is included as is a decent soft top. The interior features a two tone vinyl bench seats that is clean. The dashboard is clean and original and the car is well equipped with power steering, original radio, and an automatic transmission.
