Seller's comments about 1957' Ford Thunderbird

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, Online Auction - 30th October on Thursday the 30th of October. Background:Launched in 1955 the Thunderbird blended American style with refined engineering to create one of the most recognisable cars of its era. By 1957, the model had evolved into its most desirable early form, featuring subtle styling updates, a revised front bumper, and elegant rear fins that defined its silhouette. Powered by Ford’s 312 cubic inch (5. 1-litre) Y-block V8, the Thunderbird offered seamless performance combined with luxury appointments that appealed to discerning buyers seeking a personal two-seat grand tourer rather than an out-and-out sports car.The Car:Built in Dearborn and accompanied by its original factory build sheets, this 1957 Thunderbird was imported from the United States in 2017. It retains its original and rare removable porthole hardtop as well as the integral mohair soft top.Finished with tinted glass, power steering, and both its period tape/ radio unit and the original radio, this example offers an appealing blend of authenticity and usability. The stainless-steel exhaust system, new battery, and a recent service, described as being in lovely condition throughout, the car runs and drives well, presenting an excellent opportunity to acquire a genuine 1957 example of Ford’s iconic two-seater.Fabulous to drive and brimming with period charm, this Thunderbird remains ready to be enjoyed as a wonderful slice of Americana. With its combination of iconic design, concours-quality restoration, and low mileage, this 1957 Thunderbird represents a highly desirable opportunity for both collectors, enthusiasts, and purists.Location: SuffolkSeller: PrivatePhotography: Professional
