1957 Thunderbird Convertible I have a collection of 1955-57 Baby Birds & parts. This 1957 Baby Bird is the rarest and most expensive of the group. It runs and stops. This Baby Bird can be driven as is or restoration project. This car is very solid and will need lower quarters replaced if restoring. Details of ownership follows: 1957 Ford Thunderbird time Capsule. This unique Thunderbird was ordered by Dick Cranston senior, a dealership in New Jersey for his son Dick Cranston Junior. The car has been parked in a wharehouse for 40 years but has an interesting history. At the time Dick Cranston Junior was 21 years old and received this car as a gift from his dad. Although it was a D code car with a three speed transmission that wasn't quite enough for the young 21 year old. At the time Ford was offering NASCAR packages that could be installed by the dealer. So Dick asked his dad if he would have the guys in the shop trick out his new 57 Thunderbird with some fast goodies. So the car received the dual Quad package that was offered on the E code cars of that time. As well as a brand new four speed pulled off the shelf in the parts room, a set of headers and some Mickey Thompson magnesium wheels. All of this information has been documented and Dick Cranston Junior is still around to verify any other information about the car. This car has been untouched since parked in that warehouse in 1967. It is an awesome example of how these cars were transformed by the dealerships and in many cases sold to the general public. It still sports the original dealership emblem, original interior and even the gigantic sun tachometer screwed right through the flawless dash pad. This car would be a great candidate for full restoration or left as it is to be a reminder of a bygone era. Serious Inquiries only contact Hugh 337 344 9731
