1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible Why This Car Is Special The Ford Thunderbird was a rear wheel drive automobile which was manufactured by Ford in the United States over eleven model generations from 1955 through 2005. The Thunderbird created a market niche that eventually became known as the personal luxury car. The 1957 Ford Thunderbird we have at Skyway Classics is painted in Baby Blue with the black and white Interior, 312 cubic inch engine, freshly painted and detailed engine compartment, Automatic Transmission, Power Steering, fender skirts, and the chrome hubcaps on factory steel wheels with wide white sidewall tires, looks as period correct as it did when it was new.

It has the dress up kit with the correct finned Thunderbird valve covers, red painted engine block, heads, and intake, Power Steering, chrome open element chrome air cleaner, automatic transmission that shifts perfect, and the fully functional hood scoop. The exhaust system is good and the chassis is largely original looking and it rolls on a set of chrome factory hubcaps and wide white sidewall tires. Interior You will like the black and white interior with the bench seat, door panels that match, factory black dash, gauges that are in original condition and look great in the machine turned dash, radio, along with black carpets and the factory steering wheel. The trunk looks as it has the original trunk floor mat and the spare tire and wheel too. Exterior The Thunderbird was revised for 1957 with a reshaped front bumper, a larger grille and tailfins, and larger tail lamps. The newer Baby Blue paint and bodywork on ours as well as the fit and finish are nicely done. The graceful fins and body lines has straight panels and the taillight end caps round out the rear end of the car. Other details like the Thunderbird badges, rear bumper with integrated exhaust outlets, and the fender skirts are all great.
