'57 T'bird

1957 Ford Thunderbird “E” series roadster.

 

This was the 3rd and last year of the “little birds”. Franklin Q. Hershey is generally credited with the original 1955 design. This 1957 Thunderbird is very similar to the 1955 and 1956 models except for the rear-end treatment.

 

The Thunderbird was never marketed as a sports car like the Corvette was, but as a “personal luxury car”, a totally new market segment. The “E” series of this Thunderbird refers to a higher performance engine than the standard 1957 Thunderbird.
