Description:

This Colonial White 1957 Thunderbird has undergone a fresh restoration—mechanicals, electrical, paint—with an eye towards keeping the car “as original”. The car has a black and white interior, a white porthole hardtop and a black canvas soft top. Also included is the storage cart for the hardtop. It is a low mileage vehicle, with the 41,027 being represented to us as the true mileage—a fact reinforced by the car’s title.

This is a “D” code car with the 312 cu.in. V8 producing 245 h.p. and it starts and runs properly. It has an automatic transmission that shifts smoothly. The car drives nicely on its nearly new 205/75R/14 BF Goodrich radial tires with wide whitewalls. The drivability is enhanced by power steering.

The car’s paint is very good to excellent, and was repainted in the original Colonial White as it was when it left the factory. The chrome is generally good to very good and therefore was not redone during the restoration.

The interior is in very nice condition and is finished in the Thunderbird black and white color combination. All of the instruments work properly, as do all of the safety items (lights, turn signals, wipers, horn). The clock is not working and will need servicing. While there is an aftermarket radio in the car, the original is available and will be included with the car.

This is a car that is ready to drive or to show—or, perhaps, both. It is a great example of a nicely restored ’57 Thunderbird that will be envied by knowledgeable T-Bird owners.
