The classic first generation Thunderbird entered its final year of production in 1957, and many enthusiasts consider these models to be the best of the series. Styling was freshened with an updated grille, along with a new rear end treatment that featured a pair of small and jaunty fins, which were termed “high-canted fenders” by Ford. Both storage space and handling were considerably improved with a lengthened rear section, which allowed the spare tire to be relocated to the trunk. No less than ten standard exterior colors were available, with many others available by special order.

This Inca Gold example has a white interior and a black canvas soft-top and was frame-off restored with a 2015 completion date. This Thunderbird is powered by a 312-cid V-8 engine with an automatic transmission and has fender skirts.
