More about this car
Listing details from the car's own eBay listing: Year: 1957; VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): D7FH141756; Mileage: 7157; Body Type: Convertible; Engine: 312 V8; Exterior Color: Red; Fuel Type: Unspecified; Interior Color: White; Make: Ford; Model: Thunderbird; Transmission: Automatic; Vehicle Title: UNSPECIFIED; Warranty: Confirm with Dealer; For Sale By: Dealer. 1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible â?" 312ci V8, Automatic, Red over Ivory Why This Car Is Special The 1957 Ford Thunderbird holds a specific and well-earned place in American automotive history. It was the last year of the first-generation 'Baby Bird' â?" the two-seat personal luxury roadster that Ford introduced in 1955 to compete with the Chevrolet Corvette, though Ford always insisted the Thunderbird occupied its own category. Ford called it a 'personal car,' not a sports car, and the distinction matters. Where the Corvette chased performance credentials, the Thunderbird offered comfort, style, and genuine amenities alongside its V8 power. The buying public responded clearly: Ford sold 21,380 Thunderbirds for the 1957 model year, compared to just 6,339 Corvettes that same year.
What the photos show
- Red '57 with the top down looks excellent outside — glossy, even paint, bright chrome and wire wheels with whitewalls in all the exterior shots.
- All the car photos are exterior except one trunk shot — there is no dedicated interior or engine bay photo in this sheet.
- Trunk is clean and neatly lined in a checked mat with the spare fitted — a good sign for the car's overall care.
- The white interior is only glimpsed through the windscreen and over the doors — seat and dash condition cannot be judged in detail.
- No underside photos — floors and chassis cannot be checked.
- Can't judge the soft top at all — it is never shown raised.
Money: At $43,497 the glossy red exterior and clean trunk are consistent with strong '57 money — no paint budget is visible, but the ask assumes an interior and engine bay as good as the outside, which this sheet does not show.
