This 1957 Ford Thunderbird convertible brought $60,500 at Mecum Kissimmee. Ford built 21,380 T-Birds in ‘57, but only a handful of them were designated “E-Birds” by the factory and given a special VIN number like this one. That was because of a 312/285hp engine with dual 4-barrels, large port heads, 290 degree cam, and other hi-performance items.
