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. Both are rare to find today, with reportedly only 1,499 E-Birds and just 196 F-Birds ever produced! This Stunning 1957 Ford Thunderbird E-code is finished in its factory colors of RR- Torch Red over a XH- Flame Red pleated vinyl interior. It comes equipped with both white vinyl soft top (originally black) and original Ford porthole hardtop. Factory options include Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission, power drum brakes, engine dress-up kit, windshield washer, heater & defroster, Firestone Deluxe Champion 7.50x14 wide whitewall tires, full Sunburst wheel covers, and Town & Country signal-seeking radio. This is very late production example that was factory invoiced on November 22nd, 1957, and body tagged November 23rd and stamped PAID on the factory delivery invoice on November 29th, 1957.
