Gateway Classic Cars of Detroit is proud to present this 1957 Ford Thunderbird. The first generation of the Ford Thunderbird is a two-seat convertible produced by Ford for the 1955 to 1957 model year, the first 2-seat Ford since 1938. It was developed in response to the 1953 Motorama display at the New York Auto Show, which showed the Chevrolet Corvette. The Corvette in turn was developed in response to the popularity of European sports cars among Americans. For the 1957 model year, the front bumper was reshaped, the grille and tailfins were made larger, and larger taillights were fitted. The spare wheel moved back inside the trunk, which had been redesigned to allow it to be mounted vertically. The side "Thunderbird" script was moved from the fins to the front fenders. Powering this 1957 Ford Thunderbird is a 312 Cubic Inch V8 backed by the "Ford-o-matic" Automatic Transmission. Finished in a beautiful red, with a white hard and soft top give this T-bird a real classy look. To add on to that class, is the interior which is a black and white vinyl that still looks beautiful. Options on this 1957 Ford Thunderbird include: AM/FM radio, 2 tops, power brakes, power steering, power windows, and beautiful wire wheels. Don't miss out on your chance to own this 2-seater Ford T-bird!
