This 1957 Ford Thunderbird looks pretty in pink, and it would be a great Valentine’s Day gift for that special someone in your life. Its presentation is excellent, and it would seem to need nothing. Located in Calabasas, California, you will find the Thunderbird listed for sale here on Craigslist. The owner is asking $35,000 for this classic, and I have to say a big thank you to Barn Finder MattR for spotting the T-Bird for us. I will admit that this Thunderbird has had me scratching my head slightly. The owner refers to it as a Pink Edition and a Valentine’s Day Limited Edition. I had never heard of a ’57 T-Bird that carried either of those designations. I did some research, and it seems that I’m not alone. I can find no reference to that version, so this is where our knowledgeable readers can come to the fore. If you have heard of such a model, please leave a comment. I’m always happy to grow my knowledge on these things. I’ve been debating the paint shade and have concluded that the Ford wears a color called Sunset Coral. Its presentation is extremely nice, and the White hardtop offers a pleasant contrast. The vehicle shines beautifully and helps to accentuate the fact that the panels are laser straight. There is no visible evidence of rust, and the seller makes no mention of any problems in his listing. If the T-Bird has spent its life in California, that bodes well for potential buyers. The chrome and trim shine beautifully in the sun, and I can’t spot any problems or flaws with the glass. The only word that I can use to describe the interior is stunning. Predominantly White trim is always going to have an impact, but it is enough to knock you off your feet when it is as vibrant as this. There is no evidence of any marks or yellowing on the upholstery, while the dash is close to perfect. Black carpet offers a striking contrast, and its condition is just as impressive as the rest of the interior. The Thunderbird has been fitted with air conditioning, and this is probably a wise choice given the vehicle’s location. Flow-through ventilation is not one of the Thunderbird’s stronger characteristics, so any assistance is usually gratefully acceptable. The original radio has made way for a more modern stereo, but otherwise, the interior remains untouched. Powering the Thunderbird is the original 292ci V8. This is backed by an automatic transmission, while power steering would make life easy in the twisty bits. Once again, we reach a point where this classic has me scratching my head. The 292 was the entry-level engine for 1957, so this one is no surprise. What throws me is that all of the information at my disposal indicates that it was not offered with an automatic transmission in this model year. That means that this car has either received a transmission transplant or that V8 isn’t a 292. If that is the entry-level engine, it should still be good for 206hp. That isn’t enough to make the 3,134lb T-Bird the fastest thing in a straight line, but this was a model that Ford was marketing as a Personal Luxury Car, so outright performance wasn’t their primary goal. The engine bay of this one presents well, and it doesn’t flatter to deceive. The owner says that it runs and drives well, so it seems that the open road is beckoning for the next lucky owner. Sometimes a classic car will pop up on our desks here at Barn Finds that can cause us to chase our tails a bit. This 1957 Ford Thunderbird is a perfect example of these sorts of problems. The “Pink Edition” reference had me spending hours on research, but I’ve been unable to locate any information. Maybe I’ve been looking in the wrong place, so it will be interesting to see what our readers think. Looking at it in isolation without considering the question regarding its limited-edition status, the pricing on the Thunderbird looks extremely competitive. This is a classic that would seem to need nothing, so with Valentine’s Day right on our doorstep, maybe this has appeared at the perfect time. I can see this beauty parked in someone’s driveway wearing a massive bow on that special day. Do you have a person in your life that would love that sort of a surprise?
