Duthler Ford of Grand Rapids, MI owned this first generation Thunderbird as a demo from the manufacturer until April 5, 1960 when Mr. and Mrs. Botting of Bryon Center, MI purchased the car from salesman Fred Williams with a 30 Day or 1,000 Mile Warranty. Accompanying this vehicle purchase is the original Bill of Sale from Duthler Ford and the Original Title, both dating back to 1960. Original documents, not copies. Only 21,000 Thunderbirds were produced in 1957, 51,000 total first generation T-Birds made between 1955 and 1957. The Thunderbird was Ford's response to the Corvette, and we think they made an exceptional vehicle at the time. This example has 64k original miles and is finished in factory Raven Black repaint. The car is powered by the original "D code" 312ci/245hp 4bbl V8 with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive.

The car is turn-key ready and ready for a new garage. Paint, chrome, interior, and undercarriage are all in great condition. The panels fit, finish and door gaps all indicate no accident history ever and the vehicle retains its original factory sheet metal. With the desirable 312 motor, factory Black color, and technically a one-owner vehicle with original documentation, this Thunderbird is far above average.
