1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible For Sale

This 1957 Ford Thunderbird is a remarkably preserved, late-first-generation "Baby Bird" that has spent the last 23 years under the dedicated care of its current family. Finished in its iconic factory-correct combination of Colonial White over a striking Flame Red interior, this final-year two-seater shows 73,282 original miles on the odometer. Power is supplied by its original, all-matching 312 cubic-inch V8 paired with a smooth-shifting Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission.
The car has been expertly dialed-in for trouble-free touring. It benefits from a comprehensive mechanical refreshing that features a completely overhauled braking system, a fresh battery, and the thoughtful addition of an auxiliary electric fuel pump to alleviate common cold-start or vapor lock issues. It rides on highly sought-after 14" chrome Kelsey-Hayes wire wheels wrapped in brand-new Coker Classic wide-whitewall radial tires. This turn-key '57 T-Bird is now offered with a matching Kelsey-Hayes wire spare, a replacement cockpit tonneau cover, a collection of original spare parts, and a significant folder of historical documentation and ownership history.

The extensive chrome and brightwork are excellent throughout-including the signature '57 front bumper, faux hood scoop trim, and the iconic dual exhaust ports integrated cleanly through the rear bumper guards. All factory glass, badging, and stainless steel trim pieces are securely affixed and remain in...
