Some even managed to buy some and have them shipped home. It was clear to Detroit that there just might be a market for an American made version of the famed two-seater open car. The two most famous of these were the MG-TC (and the later TD) and the incredibly handsome Jaguar XK-120. Kaiser introduced the famed Kaiser-Darrin in the early 50’s and Chevrolet would follow next with the legendary Corvette. Ford was not blind to Chevrolet’s new car, but chose to develop a car along a different path. It was decided their car would be made of metal instead of fiberglass; that it would be powered by a V-8 engine unlike the Corvette’s Blue Flame Six”; and that it would feature roll-down windows and an optional hardtop unlike the Corvette’s snap on curtains. They further decided that it would, as much as possible, utilize the same tooling and parts interchangeability with the big Fords of that era. This Magnificent Southern Estate Classic is finished in Stunning Torch Red and Red & White Interior. It underwent a Professional Photo Documented Frame Off, Ground Up, Rotisserie, Every Nut & Bolt AACA Senior Award Winning Restoration, exceeding $79,000, including Exterior, Interior, Top, Brightwork, and Mechanics.

1957 THUNDERBIRD ROADSTER

When GI’s who fought in the European Theater of World War II returned home, they rought with them fond memories of the British two-seaters that were a common sight over there. Some even managed to buy some and have them shipped home. It was clear to Detroit that there just might be a market for an American made version of the famed two-seater open car.

The two most famous of these were the MG-TC (and the later TD) and the incredibly handsome Jaguar XK-120. Kaiser introduced the famed Kaiser-Darrin in the early 50’s and Chevrolet would follow next with the legendary Corvette. Ford was not blind to Chevrolet’s new car, but chose to develop a car along a different path.

It was decided their car would be made of metal instead of fiberglass; that it would be powered by a V-8 engine unlike the Corvette’s Blue Flame Six”; and that it would feature roll-down windows and an optional hardtop unlike the Corvette’s snap on curtains. They further decided that it would, as much as possible, utilize the same tooling and parts interchangeability with the big Fords of that era.

This Magnificent Fully Restored Thunderbird, finished in Torch Red with Red & White Interior, is an Absolute Pleasure to Drive. Please examine the Show Quality Engine compartment and Undercarriage to better appreciate the Outstanding Restoration Quality. Many “Baby Bird” aficionados consider the ’57 to be the “Last, Most Beautiful and Most Desirable” of the “Baby Birds” of the era. It is as ”Straight as an Arrow” and Absolutely Immaculate Throughout. It is ready for Show or Tour, and garners all the “oohs and aahs” anytime out.
