1957 Ford Thunderbird E-Code Convertible

This 1957 Ford Thunderbird E-Code Convertible is a rare, performance oriented Baby Bird that is an absolute blast to drive! As the early 1950s began to transition into the mid-50s, America's automakers began to realize that a key product category was missing from their product lineups. See for years, upscale European manufacturers such as Mercedes, Porsche, and Jaguar seemed to have cornered the market with regards on sporty 2-seater convertibles that were both small and sporty yet luxurious and powerful. The first major American automaker to enter the market was Chevrolet when the GM marque released its Corvette roadster in 1953. In an effort to not only match Chevrolet's Corvette but also surpass it, Ford introduced the Thunderbird on October 25, 1954.
