1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible

    The 1957 Ford Thunderbird was the last two-seater sold by Ford until the 1982 Ford EXP sport compact car. A total of 53,166 units were produced for the three model years (1955 to 1957). While the Chevy Corvette favored a 'sports car motif,' the Thunderbird was billed as a 'personal luxury car,' with greater emphasis on comfort and convenience than on performance. It had a 102-inch wheelbase frame and came standard with a 292 cubic-inch Y-block V8 engine. During its first year of production, it outsold the Corvette more than 23-to-one, with 16,155 Thunderbirds sold vs. 700 Corvettes.

    This car was given a frame-off restoration in 2015 and has been owned by the same family since new. It is powered by a 312 cubic-inch V8 engine offering 245 horsepower.
