The panels have only minor marks, but the best news revolves around the subject of rust. The back window is currently out, but the seller includes a new seal and trim to help the buyer fix that problem. The hardtop is in good condition and is the rarer porthole-delete version. The news is positive once we look past the paint and consider the Thunderbird’s overall condition. The seller has been told that Ford didn’t produce a ’57 Thunderbird wearing this color, and this has been the catalyst for their confusion. The exception is the area behind the seat, and it seems to wear a different shade again. If this is the case, the person responsible was meticulous because they have repainted every surface in the trunk and around the door frames to match. Common sense says this car represents a simple color change, which is not uncommon.
The shade the car wears today is neither Flame Red nor Torch Red, and that’s where the mystery begins. The Tag on this car indicates that it rolled off the line wearing Flame Red with a Colonial White hardtop.

Early cars wore Code V Flame Red, while Code R Torch Red appeared around September of that year. It is located in Gentry, Arkansas, with a BIN of $25,000 and the option to make an offer.įord offered Thunderbird buyers in 1957 the choice of two shades of Red. It is a mystery that deserves solving, but that task may fall to the buyer since the owner recently listed the T-Bird for sale here on eBay. However, it is the paint shade that has them confused. The seller believes that a previous owner may have performed a color change, and they’ve been pretty meticulous in the process if this is the case. That is one thing I find attractive about this 1957 Ford Thunderbird. Whether it is part of a good book or life itself, there’s nothing more satisfying than unraveling something that has caused others to ponder endlessly.
