This 1957 Thunderbird is in exceptional condition and is a real head turner! The 312 V8 purrs and the Fordomatic automatic transmission is very smooth. Power steering & power brakes make this car a dream to drive. Just add gas and go! The black paint is nearly flawless... a dime-sized ding in driver front quarter panel and small paint chip at the driver headlight cap are the only issues (see photos). Despite these minor blemishes, you WILL NOT be ashamed to park this car at any show or gathering... it turns heads and receives compliments wherever it goes. The black & white interior is in fantastic shape. Car includes soft top AND hardtop. This car will be sold to settle an estate and is for sale locally. Seller reserves the right to terminate this auction early for local sale. I do not personally know the history of this car, but will try to answer any questions to the best of my ability. I have tried to verify all posted facts about this vehicle to the best of my ability, but buyer is responsible for authentication. SERIOUS inquiries only! Additional photos available by request.
