Description
This 1957 Ford Thunderbird custom convertible is a show car powered by a high-performance 351ci Ford V8 engine mated to a Ford C4 3-speed automatic transmission, both rebuilt before installation. The engine sits in a show-prepared engine bay, with a custom air cleaner and Mickey Thompson rocker covers with T-bar fasteners and Gold detailing. It has an all-steel construction with all components welded in and skim-coated smooth. The body is the hand-formed steel of a '57 Ford Thunderbird with a variety of body modifications and finished in a Brilliant Gold Metallic paint. The exterior features large rear tailfins, along with other exterior modifications such as 1959 Lincoln headlights, 1959 Buick taillights, shaved door handles, a custom grille, tail panels and a chopped windshield. It was recently pinstriped by Tanner Leaser of Gas Monkey Garage. This custom Thunderbird sits on four alloy wheels in a star pattern, wrapped in BFGoodrich Silvertown bias ply whitewall tires. It features white Naugahyde vinyl on the fully custom interior, wheel wells, engine bay and hood pad. This vinyl encases the seats and is diamond-pleated. The interior also features a 1961 Chrysler glass-dome gauge cluster, '60s Plymouth Aero steering wheel, custom shifter and a retro rotary telephone attached to the center of the floorboard. Inside the glovebox is a Sony AM/FM stereo with CD player. The trunk has been equipped with a small, restored 1950s Admiral TV, oil, gas and water cans, and a period-correct first aid kit, all accented or sheathed in Gold, plus a full-size spare tire. The car also includes a custom-made tonneau cover. It also features twin-paired rocketship dual antennas that spiral out of the rear custom-fabricated quarter-panels. This example has won awards at several car shows, including the Oakland Roadster Show, Sacramento Roadster Show and Lead East.
