1957 Ford Thunderbird "E-Bird" with Exceptionally Rare E-Code Option
1957 Ford Thunderbird is one of 977 E-Code thunderbirds ever produced. The E-Code option, regarded by many as the most desirable option available in the Thunderbird, features the 312-cubic inch V-8, which is topped with a pair of Holley four-barrel carburetors and was graced with a larger bore, longer stroke, higher compression ratio, and an automatic choke. This engine offered more horsepower than any other small block V-8, beating Chevrolet?s fuel-injected 283 by only two horsepower. As one of four engine options available for 1957, very few were equipped as such, making the aptly nicknamed E-Bird rare and the car of choice for those who were looking for the comfort that the Thunderbird provided but with some extra punch.
