Many thanks for your interest. Thunderbird's are fun and have good adaptability with adjustable steering column and Dial-O-Matic power seats on this example. They offer good driving dynamics for their times. The boot is very large compared to a Mustang which is about the same size of vehicle. They were a quality product when new. 1957 saw 21380 examples built. They have a very good survival rate. The engine firing order is the same as a Flathead V8 , hence the very unique V8 rumble! They can take three at a pinch on the bench seat . All in all they are a fine Ford !
