After 26 years of owning , driving and enjoying this car we have decided to sell our 57 Thunderbird. I bought this car from a private party and had it restored in 1988. The restoration was done by a well known Ford restoration shop in St Paul Minnesota. Over the years, all the mechanicals were either rebuilt or replaced as needed, and this included the following: Brakes, exhaust, gas tank , glass, interior, complete body and paint, trim, interior seats , carpet, and door panels. The hardtop and soft top were both restored by Jewels Body Shop in Brillion Wisconsin. The Y-Block V8 engine and Ford-O-Matic transmission perform very well. I do not know the history or actual mileage of either since they were in the car when I purchased it, I have not had to do any repairs to either. The car has always started and run smoothly. Everything on the car is original stock condition with only one exception, we had the radio rebuilt and had the radio shop convert the tuning mechanism to include FM stations. The radio looks completely stock but has the capability to pull in either AM or FM channels. All the other gauges work as they should including the clock! The Wide whitewall radial tires are COKER brand and the battery was replaced last fall. The speedometer reads 21,972 miles. We bought the car in 1988 and at that time the odometer read 89,000. So we have put on about 33,000 miles in 26 years. Most of which was in the first 15 years or so. I kept receipts for the parts and the restoration work that was done on the car and will send along with the car to the new owner.

We have always kept the car stored inside our garage year round and it is driven weekly during the summer and fall months , mainly for fun and cruising enjoyment. We have taken it to many local car events and shows. The new owner will also get the manuals and miscellaneous items shown in the last picture. These include the ORIGINAL FORD DIVISION DELIVERY INVOICE / WINDOW STICKER, dated 10/17/1956, FROM THE DEALERSHIP in Park Ridge , Illinois, Mark Gant Motors, shop manual, concours manuals, electrical and trim manuals. They are all old , but still in good condition.

I have a reserve which I feel is a fair price and reflects the current book value according to the latest OLD CAR's PRICE GUIDE. This is our first attempt at selling this car.

If you have any questions or want more pictures , don't hesitate to use the ask seller , I will send any and all info to you promptly. If you want to visit us and view and/or drive the car, just email me and we can set up a time to do that. I am retired now and have plenty of spare time for that.

Shipping to your location is the buyers responsibility. Your funds must be wired to my bank before the car is released for pickup.

Ford's Simple Suit Makes You Feel Like A Drunk Driver

Tue, Mar 25 2014

We've all heard about the dangers of drunk driving for practically our entire lives. Whether it's from PSAs on TV or lectures in school, no one can claim ignorance of drunk driving being extremely dangerous. However, that doesn't prevent some people from still doing it. Ford is trying to take the safety message directly to young drivers with a special suit that allows them to simulate driving under the influence. It is all part of Ford's Driving Skills for Life program that gives free driving education to young people. The program is meant to "train kids in skills they don't learn in driver's ed," said Kelli Felker, Ford Safety Communications Manager, to Autoblog. The drivers don a few items to impair their senses and make them off-balance to simulate having a few too many drinks and then go out on a closed course with an instructor to see the effects. Felker said that the suit is a new part of the program, and Ford just received the outfit in the US. It will be incorporated into the training here in the late spring or early summer. Scroll down to see the effect it has on drivers in Europe. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Ford dealer gives James Robertson new 2015 Taurus

Fri, Feb 6 2015

James Robertson, the 56-year-old Detroit native famous for walking 21 miles to work each day for the last 10 years, is behind the wheel again thanks to a gift from a Ford dealer. Robertson became an Internet sensation when the story about his daily ordeal came to light, and a GoFundMe campaign initially hoped to raise $5,000 to buy him a new ride. As of this writing, it has reached over $300,000. He didn't have to dip into any of that money to buy the new car, though. According to The Detroit Free Press, Suburban Ford of Sterling Heights, MI, heard about Robertson's story of never being late to work and having perfect attendance. The dealer is donating a fully loaded, red 2015 Taurus to him. It's not one of our choices, but certainly nothing to sneeze at. Robertson started walking to work in 2005 when his Honda broke down. According to the GoFundMe page, his job is about 23 miles away, but thanks to Detroit's poor bus network, he covers about 21 miles of that round-trip trek on foot each day.

2015 Ford Mustang GT Line-Lock Burnout

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

In this brief Short Cut, Autoblog's Steven Ewing demonstrates Line-Lock on the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. Accessed through an on-screen performance menu, the feature temporarily locks the front brakes to help you heat up the rear tires for better traction, as you would for drag racing. The result? A 15-second smokescreen.
