When the Ford Thunderbird was introduced in 1955, it created a new niche known as the personal luxury car. Although the car has an inherent sportiness; Ford marketed the car with its luxury and convenience features. This 1957 model year was slightly redesigned from the previous year with the spare tire moved back into the trunk similar to the ’55 model.

This Thunderbird has been finished in Torch Red, with a matching red interior. The cosmetic restoration was finished by Minter, a well-known Thunderbird restoration facility. The engine is a 312-cid V-8 engine, mated to an automatic transmission. The car is shown with a matching hardtop with portholes, fender skirts and is riding on wide whitewall tires with Kelsey Hays chrome wire wheels. A tonneau cover is included with the car, along with a modern AM/FM stereo located inside the glovebox.
