Message: The '57 TBird was heavily facelifted... ,,,, and very cleverly so. The sheet metal from the doors rearward was all new. The rear deck was considerably lengthened and revised to house the spare tire inside and still retain some degree of trunk room. The car used the tail lights and accompanying trim from the all-new '57 Fords....It was the best looking of the little Birds...
