I’m stretching it a bit. It wasn’t Leslie’s dad’s car it was Leslie’s boyfriends, dad’s car. But Leslie looks just like the girl I imagined in the iconic Beach Boy song. Leslie’s boyfriends’ family has owned the 1957 T-Bird for about two months. The car is pretty much original and the new owners plan to keep it that way. I suspect Leslie will be an official family owner soon as she and her boyfriend, Jimbo, seemed to be pretty tight. Leslie is a dental hygienist from Winchester, Tn.
From Wikipedia: The Thunderbird was revised for 1957 with a reshaped front bumper, a larger grille and tailfins, and larger tail lamps. The 312 cu in (5.1 L) V8 became the Thunderbird’s standard engine, and that produced 245 horsepower (183 kW). Other, even more powerful versions of the 312 cu in (5.1 L) V8 were available including one with two four-barrel Holley carburetors and another with a Paxton supercharger delivering 300 horsepower (220 kW). The Ford-0-Matic 3 sp was the standard transmission. Though Ford was pleased to see sales of the Thunderbird rise to a record-breaking 21,380 units for 1957, company executives felt the car could do even better, leading to a substantial redesign of the car for 1958.
