1957 Ford Thunderbird Garrett Classics is proud to showcase this beautiful '57 Ford Thunderbird in Raven Black with Red Interior. This car showcases an older quality restoration of the original color combination on its exceptionally solid body. It is an absolute pleasure to cruise and is now available for sale on our showroom floor. This car is complete with photos documenting its restoration along with the original window sticker.

The original trim plate is intact and legible. The aluminum radiator is specific to 1st generation Thunderbirds and does it's job well. The porthole hardtop is in very good condition. There are some imperfections in it's paint.
