What you are bidding on is a very original 1957 Ford Thunderbird. I have both tops for the Tbird. Both of the tops are white and in great shape. This car does have a very nice black paint job as well as very nice interior. It drives great and does not over heat. It has always been a California car and is an original Raven Black color with red interior. I will do my best to describe the Tbird. however if you have any questions. concerns or need additional pictures please let me know. Or please feel free to call me. Exterior:The exterior is a very nice and straight Raven Black paint job. The paint job is a few years old. however still in great shape. The vehicle has no rust and is a true California car with black plates. The bumpers are the original bumpers and they were re-chromed to their original state. The chrome shop did an excellent job on the bumpers and they look great. The rest of the trim pieces also look to be in great shape. The chrome and stainless parts really pop on the car. The hardtop and soft top are in great shape and they are both white. The soft top is tucked away behind the backseat with a red vinyle divider. The glass is in good shape. the windows roll up and down without any issues. The weatherstrip and felt is in good shape as well. Interior:The interior is all red and with a re-upholstered seat. new carpet. new sun-visors. nbsp; kick panels and door panels. All the lights work as well as the signals. The heater. windshield wiper and all gauges work as well. The radio is an original town and country am radio. The scan feature works great and it automatically turns the knob as it is scanning for a station. (Really cool feature to see). The interior overall is very clean and has quite the wow factor. Drive-Train: The motor is the original 312 motor with the Ford-O-Matic transmission. The car starts very easily and maintains a very good idle. All of the fluids have been changed regularly and it is very maintained very well. The transmission shifts without any issues. The car drives really good and handles well considering its age. The tires are in good shape and they are true white wall tires. The Tbird also has power-steering and power brakes. I also have all of the manuals as well as the original original handbook for this car. I do have a copy of the window sticker from Ford Motor Company. This car gets a lot of looks. Driving this car is like being in a constant parade. I do have the car advertised locally at several Tbird clubs and therefore maintain the right to end the auction if it sells prior to the end of auction. If the car meets my reserve. I will also throw in all of the Classic Thunderbird Club monthly magazines dating back to the 1960's which I received from the previous owner. I also have the workshop manual. This car is truly original and comes with a lot of extras you normally don't see. If you have any questions. concerns or would like the Tbird examined by a third party please feel free to contact me at 916-262-6971.
