The iconic exterior of the 1957 Thunderbird has many styling elements that were seen on other Ford models at the time, including the front fenders and quarter panels. The 1957 Thunderbird stands out from the other T-birds with its slanted tail fins along the quarter panels. The front of the car had browed headlamps, a tasteful hood scoop, and an egg crate grille. The parking lamps sat on the front bumper and the exterior was rounded, with functional air vents. This true California car drives like a dream; feels and performs very tightly. There are no kinks, noises or thuds alike, all you hear is the wonderful and powerful sound of the roaring engine.
This classic beauty was meticulously rotisserie restored to perfect condition in year 2005 and recently went through a major service maintenance which serviced all the fuel system, brake system and mechanical system which includes replacing the brake lines, drums and shoes, fuel lines, fuel pump, fuel filter, coil, carburetor was completely serviced, as well as a fresh tune up .The undercarriage is as beautiful as it was when it first came off the line, very tidy, neat and clean.
She drives straight and true with power and elegance. There is no swaying to the left or right and she has a very solid body. While cruising down the coastline of PCH along Malibu, there was not one eye or compliment that was not paid to her exquisite looks and drive.
