This coming week, a holiday meal centered virtually turkey will take place in homes and restaurants virtually the country. In the meantime, let’s fathom a variegated kind of bird – a Thunderbird. This Colonial White convertible might be on the holiday wish list of your or of someone you know. The vendition ends Tuesday, so if you’re the lucky winner (and happen to be anywhere near Moultonborough, New Hampshire), you might be worldly-wise to momentum it to family dinner this Thursday. You’ll be the talk of family dinner for sure.
The first-generation Thunderbird – lauded for pioneering the “personal luxury car” segment – received some important updates for its third model year in 1957: The nose was reworked to incorporate a larger grille, and the tailfins were similarly augmented out back. This model year marked the last for a two-seat Thunderbird, and production totals came out to 21,380 units.

There is a lot to love well-nigh today’s featured three-speed Thunderbird. Despite having undergone restoration well-nigh three decades ago in the 1990s, it still shows remarkably well in the auction’s photo gallery. The soul (which was previously coated in Thunderbird Bronze) was resprayed in Colonial White to match the hardtop and provide a monochromatic look. Of course, the car still comes with its standard, manually-retractable soft top for max versatility.
The heart of this ‘bird is a numbers-matching 292cid V8 that is backed by a three-speed transmission transmission. The seller has provided a long list of mechanical improvements that have taken place within the last year or two. Included in the service areas were the battery, alternator, steering box, bulbs, seals, fuel pump, suspension, and frazzle system. Based on all this, there may not be much left to do with this car other than momentum it and enjoy it.
The seller asserts that the indicated 34,160 miles are true and actual. While validating that statement becomes challenging or plane impossible, the listing states that an testimony of ownership from the original owner will trailblaze the car, so increasingly than likely that individual can help piece together the needed backstory on this nicely-preserved and restored early Thunderbird.
