1957 Ford Thunderbird<\/h1>\n
\n

In 1957 Ford modified the Thunderbird with new front and rear ends as well as a more powerful V8 engine. This more powerful model was met with great enthusiasm by consumers who purchased over 20,000 units that year. <\/span><\/p>\n

Upgrades to the 1957 model year included larger 14-inch wheels, increased chassis rigidity, a new suspension, larger brakes.<\/p>\n

Five distinct V8s were offered. On the lower end was the 292 in\u00b3 and a D-code 312 in\u00b3, called the Thunderbird Special V8, with a single Holley carb. Higher spec cars included the E-code which used dual Holley four-barrels to produce 270 bhp or 285 with a racing kit which had 10.0:1 compression large port heads, dual 4 barrel carburetors, 290 degree cam and reworked distributor. At the top end was the F-code McCullough-Paxton supercharged model which offered 300 horsepower.<\/p>\n

The 1957 Thunderbird was the last of the “classic” two-seat T-Birds. Restyled for the new model year, the ’57 had tail fins, opera windows, a new grill and a choice of five V-8 engines. The last two-seater was built on Dec. 16, 1957.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
