1957 Ford Thunderbird F HISTORY: The 1955-57 Ford Thunderbird has been a collector car almost since its introduction. Many auto enthusiast consider the two seat 1955-57 Thunderbirds to be the best-looking Thunderbirds ever made, if not one of the best-looking cars ever made. Its timeless, two seat design is recognized worldwide, and the supercharged “F” model Thunderbird is one of the most coveted collector cars in existence. The reasons are many. First, 1957 was the last year of the two seat Thunderbird (until the recently re-introduced two seat Thunderbird). Second, Ford put supercharged engines only in the 1957 Thunderbird. Third, Ford only built 197 “F” model Thunderbirds out of a total production of approximately 21,300 1957 Thunderbirds. Finally, out of the 197 “F” models produced, it is believed that less than 40 survive today with complete supercharger system. This car is one of those 40 and it has undergone a frame-off restoration. |
