The classic first generation Thunderbird entered its final year of production in 1957, and many enthusiasts consider these models to be the best of the series. Styling was freshened with an updated grille, along with a new rear end treatment that featured a pair of small and jaunty fins, which were termed “high-canted fenders” by Ford. Both storage space and handling were considerably improved with a lengthened rear section, which allowed the spare tire to be relocated to the trunk. No less than ten standard exterior colors were available, with many others available by special order. Dusk Rose is one of the most sought after colors today as seen here on this E-Code roadster. It has a 312-cid V-8 with four-barrel carburetor rated at 245 horsepower, dual exhaust, automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, Town & Country radio and air conditioning. The brilliant Kelsey-Hayes chrome wire wheels are wrapped with Coker wide white radials and the white hardtop conceals the new black soft-top. Offered in a great color combination, this T-Bird looks great everywhere it is seen.
