Except for the color this is an all original numbers matching 57 Thunderbird. The car was painted the current color sometime prior to 1974 when my wife's uncle acquired the car. From the factory it would have been colonial white. The original radio is still in the car and it works. The original jack is in the trunk. The gas gauge and temperature gauge are not working. The wipers will not turn off when the motor is running (wipers have been removed but originals are with the car). Someone apparently tried to re-glue or replace the padded dash and did not do a very good job on the right side. Interior is still the original and shows the age. I have not had the soft top up but it appears to be in good condition. The rear window is clear and not cracked. The car had been sitting since 2008. It will start right up but does run a little rough and needs a good tune up. The car could fit the description of being a "20 footer". The transmission leaks fluid....seals have likely dried from not being driven. The "Fordomatic" transmission shifts fine. A careless hauler used a ratchet strap across the rear of the car resulting in damage to the paint slightly larger than a quarter in the middle of the trunk lid. Overall the paint is fair. I've found no rust on the body. There is a small part of the front grill with some surface rust that re-plating or replacing would cure. A little of the chrome shows some pitting. Tires have aged (still bias ply) and need to be replaced. If you are looking for a 57 Thunderbird that you can do some work on to make a nice driver or to fully restore this is a good choice. I will assist with shipping but arranging for and paying for shipping will be the responsibility of the buyer. A 10% deposit is required within 48 hours of the end of the auction. Final payment due within 10 days of end of auction and to be by cash or Cashier's check only prior to pickup. Prompt pickup is expected.....if not picked up within two weeks of end of sale deposit will be forfeited and this vehicle will be back on the market unless other arrangements have been made with me. I am offering this car for sale outside of Ebay and reserve the right to pull this car from auction unless reserve price has been reached. If you have additional questions you may contact me through Ebay.

Watch Tanner Foust hustle the Fiesta ST 'round the 'Ring
Mon, 15 Jul 2013The last time we saw Tanner Foust at the Nürburgring he was sloshing an SVT Raptor from kerb to kerb. Sticking with Ford but swapping keys, this time the drift champion and Top Gear USA host goes to the opposite end of the manufacturer's tuner garage and plucks a Fiesta ST for 'Ring duty.
The 179-horsepower front-wheel-driver acquits itself well by the end of the video. But be warned, Foust doesn't set a 'Ring time and it's shot like a commercial... because that's what it is. Still, you can enjoy all two minutes and 31 seconds of it below.
Ford 3D-printing Mustang out of chocolate and candy for Valentine's Day
Thu, 13 Feb 2014Is your beloved in love with the new 2015 Ford Mustang? Do they like chocolate (that's a trick question - everyone likes chocolate)? Are they a bit of a futurist? Then this Hallmark holiday, you need to get them this Ford Mustang, 3D-printed in sweet, delicious chocolate.
Ford is teaming with 3D Systems' Sugar Lab in LA to produce the super-accurate pony car confections in both chocolate and sugar candy varieties. The process kicked off with a CAD rendering of the 2015 Mustang, which was then programmed into the 3D printer. After a bit of work from the machine, a four-inch long, two-inch tall Mustang was the result. Why the tieup with 3D Systems, though?
"We wanted to create something fun to show that while 3D printing made these edible Mustangs, manufacturing-level 3D printing was used in the development of Ford's all-new sports car," said Paul Susalla, Ford's supervisor of 3D printing.
Ford owns Automotive Loyalty Awards, Audi and Subaru are king of conquests
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Customers are a commodity in the automotive industry, and like any other commodity, automakers trade them back and forth. Only nobody wants to give up their customers - just to keep the ones they have and try to attract others.
That's what the Polk Automotive Loyalty Awards are all about. Every year the industry research body names the automakers, brands and models that manage to keep their customers coming back for more - and attract buyers to switch from other makes. Ford usually does pretty well, but this year it rose above even its own track record.
Not only did Dearborn win the Overall Loyalty to Manufacturer award, but also the Overall Loyalty to Make. Ford also took the African American category, and the F-150 was named the top full-size half-ton pickup in customer loyalty. Ford COO Mark Fields (pictured above) accepted the awards and gave the keynote address at the awards ceremony.
