Up for your consideration is a magnificent example of the most recognized and reveredAmerican made classic automobile in one of the most rare and desirable color combinations....Feast your eyes on this restored 1957 Ford Thunderbird. It is mechanically and cosmeticallyimpressive with brilliant chrome and extreme attention to detail maintaining its originality.

Known History...
Ford created the 1955 Thunderbird to challenge the Chevrolet Corvette launched in 1953.The Thunderbird was advertised as a luxury sportscar. Interestingly enough though the initial '55 offered only oneengine - a 292ci V8 providing 198hp, and the luxury sportscar easily outperformed the Corvette's I235 6 cylinder enginewhich only produced 155hp.Tbird sales in '55 were brisk but one complaint was the trunk was toosmall, so the '56 model had the spare tire moved out of the trunk to a continentaldesign which also lengthened the car 10". Other changes in '56 were the 6V electrical system was upgraded to12V and wing windows were added. Along with the initial 292ci a larger 312ci V8 was offered rated at 225hp.The 1957 model was the last of the 2 seater Tbird which took the best from the two prior designs. Gone was the continentalrear end which shortened the length 4" and the spare moved back to the trunk. The handling was also improved.Also back was the thru the rear bumper exhaust ports- acasualty of the continental rear end of the '56. Engine optionsalso grew still having the 292 and 312 (now rated 245hp) plus 2 new offerings- a 270hp V8 dual 4V option and a limited production 300hp supercharged engine.

This particular Tbird has its original D code 312ci 245HP 4V engine with Fordomatic automatic transmission. The low mileage shown is believed to be originalthough cannot be verified. Power options of this Tbird are power steering, power brakes, plus inside the cockpit power seat and power windows. The current owner is an originality freak so other some chrome bolt onenhancements - this is pretty close to how it rolled off the showroom floor including bias plys as it would have been.

Exterior
This car is wearing its original X code dusk rose color Henry Ford referred to as pastel pink. Many people changethese cars to this very desirable color, but rolling out of the showroom that way is more valuable. Firewall tag calls for K code whiteporthole hard top. A white soft top is on board as well. Both tops in good condition.

Interior
When you get in to this Thunderbird, you are immediately surrounded by a vintage era. The seat is firm yet comfortable and the glistening Guage cluster shines to perfection. All of the guages work flawlessly and the dash has no sun damage or cracks. The steering wheel is a crisp white with incredibly minor marks refraining us from calling it perfect. The inside of the hard-top looks and feels new, as does the inside of the soft-top. All switches and handles work and operate correctly. The doors open and close with ease, showing the time and care taken during this T-Bird's restoration. The stock interior is in the code XK white color it was born. Interior in excellent condition with anincorrect though desirable Thunderbird aftermarket cassette stereo. No dash modifications done so a stockradio can be installed.

Undercarriage
When this Thunderbird arrived at our shop, the first thing we did was put it on a lift and do a quick undercarriage powerwash. This frees the vehicle of any dirt and grime underneath, as well as helps to reveal any mechanical issues that may need to be attended to.  The underside of this car is so incredible that one of our technicians argued that powerwashing it would be pointless due to the fact that it already looks so good- He was right. We very quickly rinsed it off, and immediately the car was ready for photographs. As you can see photographed here, the car is completely rust free and has no signs of damage. Once the undercarriage was completed, the car was inspected and detailed.Stare in awe at the underside pictures - amazing condition with no signs of rust, rust repairs, or any other issues. This eliminates what can be a costlyissue to repair for the unsuspecting, perspective buyer.

Conditional Assessment...
This 1957 Ford Thunderbird is a showcar-quality car. It has been through an exceptional restoration and is a complete package. It runs and drives perfectly and everything is in working order. Sift through ALL of our photos to make your own assessment of how truly remarkable this 1957 Ford Thunderbird is. CheersDoug WilliamsOwner/Enthusiast702-353-7500

Collector's Dream Cars Note from the Owner...I am a “used car dealer” but before that, I’m anautomobile enthusiast. I love original, rare andhigh quality modified vintage and modern cars. Over the past15 years I’ve been in business, I have come to appreciate anexpanding selection of high-demand, high value vehicles aswell. I specialize in and I am always on thelookout for cars and trucks that were cherished bytheir previous owners.
I have an experienced eye for quality and I’vediscovered that my preferred buyers can instantlydiscern such a vehicle and I have therefore, built mybusiness and reputation around finding these kinds ofcars for this type of customer. Super low miles and/orgentle ownership are strict requirements but a carmust do something for me on a personal level if thereis any hope of convincing you, the buyer, that this isan above average, exceptional vehicle. If nothingabout the car excites me, it probably won’t do much for youeither and I would soon be out of business.With just four employees and no sales people, I realize howunusual a “dealership” like mine may be at a first glance.It has taken great care and effort to create such anorganization and often, an unusually high investment in aparticular car we are about to list. To sell the bestit is critical to have a trusted expert in my corner.First we do an exhaustive 130 point inspection oneach and every vehicle and hope nothing escapes ourmethodical investigation. Experience has shownthat everything I spend making a car truly “right”will come back to me not only with a higher sellingprice, but a happy customer that says good things about Collector's Dream Cars.Moreover, it allows us todescribe the car with ease and confidence, somethingthat simply is not possible unless we think it istrue. If major issues are found or the cost offixing the car the way it should be makes it tooexpensive to sell, my choice is an easy one. I simplyabsorb a few hundred dollars loss for my trouble and sell itat auction so you don’t get a headache over thevehicle.After the vehicle is fully checked over and made whole atany level it needs to be, we researches its history, documents, documenting originality and authenticity.Historical significance, rarity, special features, possible modifications, and much more are used toaccurately describe the vehicle with integrity andhonesty. Most important for the potential buyerare the 100 to 200 high resolution pictures that I takemyself. The pricey equipment I use would be right athome in the hands of the very best professionalphotographers and I’ve developed a logical format thatwalks you around the entire vehicle with close-upshots of every square inch. I provide detailedviews of the interior, under the hood and then put iton a lift to show the undercarriage and confirm that thebeauty of the car you are considering is not merely skindeep. Even our detailers are enthusiastic aboutthe cars they meticulously clean. Reconditioningcan sometimes take several days as we do all that we canwithin reason to get our vehicles in tip top conditionvisually and cosmetically. We do Way more than just a cheapdetail. Our details are more like refurbishing to asclose to new as we can possibly get our vehicles.Usually, I’ll also include a high definition video thatshows the car doing its thing. If it’s a fastcar, we film it going fast. If it’s a 4x4 you’llsee it crawling up a hill. In every case youwill hear things like a rumbling exhaust, workingsound system and watch gauges operation as well.No “dealer, ” on-line or in the real world, takes it to thislevel. No other seller or organization provides you, the buyer, with so much information. I do thisbecause it is the only way I can convince a person;often a world away, unable to touch or feel theirpurchase that my vehicle is for real and what I say isan honest assessment. All the above is necessaryfor me to stay in business while keeping integrityintact. I want every buyer to be happy and I need glowingfeedback on eBay. To accomplish that I need satisfiedcustomers that are as thrilled with their purchase as I waswhen I bought it.If you have any questions at all, please call me on my cellat: 702-353-7500. If your inquiry is sincere andyour offer is serious, you’ll find me the mostaccommodating business partner you’ve ever dealt with.If you call or e-mail asking for my reserve or “whatis my bottom line” I will be looking for ways topolitely end the conversation. Until you areready to actually make an offer, I will happily quoteyou a liberal suggested retail price – a number we both knowwill not buy the car so, don’t waste your time, or mine.I am after all, a “used car dealer.”​​​​​​​Collector's Dream Cars Terms of Sale...This vehicle issafely stored in our beautiful climate controlledshowroom in Boulder City, Nevada.
