The T-Bird is considered one of the classic Ford cars and is particularly suitable for cruising on country roads due to its strong torque.
The “Thunderbird” symbolized the United States in the 50s and 60s. Initially a purely sporty two-seater, it was placed as a competitor to the Corvette. At that time the V8 engine, which the Corvette got only later, spoke for the Thunderbird.
The model 1957 experienced a larger facelift with more strongly accentuated tail fins, a one-piece bumper and the spare wheel came again into the trunk. Famous became the hardtop of the 57 model with its lateral round porthole windows.
