Above: 1957 Ford Thunderbird in Dusk Rose. The Black Convertible Top was an option that could be substituted for the hard top at a reduced price for the convertible top, or ordered in addition to the hard top. Generally, cars equipped with both tops enjoy a price premium today.

The car pictured does not include options normally seen on Thunderbirds of this era, such as Turbine Wheel Covers, Rear Fender Shields, Back-Up Lights, and Whitewall Tires.
