1957 Ford Thunderbird Torch Red E-code Automatic 312ci V8
Gorgeous color combination! Factory E-code with correct Torch Red exterior with Flame Red interior!! Both hard and soft tops! Super solid example with original sales documentation and factory invoice! Fantastic paint, chrome, and interior! A true investment quality Thunderbird! Designed and built to directly compete against Chevrolet's new Corvette, Ford billed their Thunderbird model as a "Personal Luxury Car" rather than a simple sports car, putting greater emphasis on the comfort and convenience features. The luxury styled Thunderbird was revised for 1957 with a reshaped front bumper, a larger grille, larger tailfins, and larger tail lamps. The 312cid V8 became the Thunderbird's standard engine, now producing 245hp, with two optional high-performance engines added. One would be the E-code 312ci 2x4 barrel making 270 horsepower, and the F-code 312ci with Paxton-built McCulloch centrifugal supercharger making closer to 300 horsepower.
