1957 Ford Thunderbird

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1957 Ford Thunderbird for purchase. The Ford Thunderbird project was in direct response to that of the Chevrolet Corvette, but not very similar. In fact, the number of T-Birds sold the first 3 years of production was much greater than the Corvette. This might have been the result of a better marketing campaign by Ford. They were the first to market the term personal luxury car vs sports car. The original 2 seater personal luxury car reached its pinnacle in the final year of production, 1957. The car received some subtle styling changes up front along with pronounced tail fins on the rear of the car. Fords Thunderbird for 1957 still remains one of the most recognizable cars on the planet. The current owner has owned the car since 1993 and purchased out of Phoenix,AZ. The Transmission was rebuilt and the gas tank, rear springs,and tires were newly replaced. The car runs and drives well with new brakes on all four corners, good steering, and a strong engine.
