Price: $37,900

Experience the grand finale of the first-generation “Baby Birds.” Now available at Klemme Klassik Kars, this spectacular 1957 Ford Thunderbird Roadster represents the absolute pinnacle of first-generation Thunderbird design. For 1957, Ford completely refreshed the styling, introducing a bolder, elongated rear decklid with subtle tail fins, a larger front grille, and an updated dashboard layout.

Draped in its exceptionally rare, factory-correct coat of Starmist Blue, this heavily optioned Thunderbird includes its matching porthole hardtop. Offered at $37,900, this classic stands as a fully operational, mechanically sorted masterwork where everything is in absolute working order.

The Thunderbird Special: 312cid V8 & Power Brakes

Under the muscular, forward-hinged hood sits the highly desirable 312 cubic-inch “Thunderbird Special” V8 engine topped by a factory 4-barrel carburetor. This legendary engine breathes through a correct dual exhaust system that exits seamlessly through the integrated chrome rear bumper ports, offering a gentle, rhythmic V8 soundtrack.

Paired with a smooth-shifting automatic transmission, this Baby Bird is optioned for effortless weekend cruising, featuring factory power brakes for reliable, consistent stopping confidence. The mechanical package is completely sorted and turn-key, right down to a brand-new, full-size spare tire tucked safely inside the immaculate trunk layout.

The Boulevard Stance: Kelsey-Hayes Wires & Radial Whitewalls

The visual presence of this 1957 Roadster is enhanced by an array of highly collectible, premium rolling gear:

• The Ultimate Wheel Upgrade: Rides on stunning, authentic Kelsey-Hayes true wire wheels accented by pristine 3-bar spinner center caps.

• Modern Road Handling: Fitted with premium American Classic wide white wall radial tires, giving you the exact period-correct vintage aesthetic while delivering razor-sharp highway tracking and steering stability over original bias-ply tires.

• Streamlined Rear Architecture: Outfitted with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) fender skirts complete with bright chrome stone guards to accentuate the car’s sweeping pontoon lines.
