    This car is like going back in time to 1957. A Time Capsule.

    The Thunderbird Special was 312 cubic inches. 1957 was the best year for the Y block. This was the year that they had the largest variety of engines and horsepower ratings. 1957 was my favorite year of Ford cars. Elegant but not too fancy.

    My first car, black and white, six cylinders, three on the tree. These cars were rust buckets so if you find one that isn't rusted, you're lucky. The vacuum wipers worked but you need to have good hoses with absolutely no leaks.

      Had 4 1958's. One reason they rusted so bad, was no front inner fenders. All the water, sand, and salt, got slung up right on top of the lights. Two year old cars had rust holes on top of the fenders. Vacuum wipers worked good, until you floored it, then you lost vacuum. Quick! Let off the gas, then they go like hell.

    If it is in fact the T-BIRD Special engine, it is a 312, not a 292. 292 were just called T-Bird engines, 312's were called T-Bird Specials.

    My first car was a red and white 57 Ford station wagon with the 312 engine and it would peg the 120 mph speedometer ( actually pretty stupid thing to do on recap tires) ! Thanks for the memories!

    One of the things I have liked on the 57 and 58 is where the inside door locks are up front by the wing windows. The way the hood opened, Ford kept that on the 59. The key on the left side of the dash, Ford kept that on the first generation Falcon.

    Hello Dave, you have a beautiful Ford there. My first car was a 1957 Ford Fairlane 500. I'm curious if yours has the wander bar radio. To best of my recollection the Thunderbird Special engine 312 cubic inches of displacement.

      I had a 59 Ford Galaxy, which is roughly the same size and weight of the 57. With the large steering wheel, steering the car was not a strong affair, even when backing with a trailer or parking, however, a clamp-on spinner made those tasks a little easier.
