1957 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Convertible. We purchased this car in 2013. When my wife and I were dating in high school, this was our favorite car and color. We decided to purchase one for our 50th wedding anniversary. I found this one on eBay and bought it sight unseen. Prior to our purchase there was a complete restoration performed in 1993 and was driven less than 20 miles during this ten-year period. It sat in a museum in New York for those years. The car has 84,795 miles on it and runs well. We drive it on nice days to get some ice cream or to local shows whenever the weather is warm and dry. The hardtop is removable and there is a white soft top to use in the event of rain. This Thunderbird has a 312 cubic inch 345 horsepower engine with a four-barrel carburetor. The transmission is a three speed Fordomatic. It’s equipped with Kelsey Hayes wire wheels, travel steering column, bench seat AM Town and Country Radio, and both hard and soft tops. The color is “Star Mist Blue”.
Our High School Dream Car of 50 Years Came True
I saw this beauty at a car show in June. It runs great and Ed takes meticulous care of it!
