At the front, the bumper was lowered under the broader grille and lost the rocket-inspired chromed elements from the 1955 model. The rear quarter-panels featured fin-tails, which were more usual on luxurious vehicles. It was exactly what Ford tried to do with the Thunderbird: to make it ...
For the 1957 Thunderbird, the tailfins got larger, as did the grille and tail lamps, and the front bumper took a new shape too. Though sales slightly dipped in 1956, they were still strong, and the 1957 Ford Thunderbird broke internal records with more than 21,000 units sold. 1955–...

This is a true, original, all stock survivor that still has the 1966 Travis Air Force Base entry sticker attached to the front bumper. The 1963.5 "fastback" Galaxie was a reported 28 percent more aerodynamic - a fact that instantly translated into major success on NASCAR's superspeedw...

For 1958, Ford countered all-new passenger Chevys and modestly restyled Plymouths with a glittery facelift featuring quad headlamps and taillamps, a massive bumper/grille a la '58 Thunderbird, and more anodized aluminum trim. V-8 choices expanded via two new "FE-series" big-blocks: a 332 ...
