Used 1957 Ford Thunderbird Base for sale in O'Fallon, IL

Gateway Classic Cars of Atlanta 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. The 1957 Thunderbird was the last two-seater Ford sold until the 1982 Ford EXP sport compact car. Powering this 1957 Ford Thunderbird is a 292 Cubic Inch V8 backed by a Automatic Transmission. Options on this 1957 Ford Thunderbird include: AM Radio Only, Spare Tire, Jack, Hub Caps, Power Steering, Bias Ply Tires, and Wide White Wall Tires.
