The 1957 drivetrain chart listed six engines, each obtainable with any one of the three transmissions: typical column-shift three-speed guide, the same with non-obligatory overdrive, and two-pace Fordomatic self-shift.

The bottom 272 V-eight now produced a rated 190 horsepower (versus the previous 173) on the same squeeze, while the favored 292-cubic-inch “Thunderbird” unit, elective only on Fairlanes and wagons, had 212 horsepower (up from 200) on healthier 9.1:1 compression.
All of it began with firm stylist Gilbert Spear, whose design concepts intrigued William Clay Ford, the younger brother of company president Henry II. On the time, Bill Ford headed the agency’s Special Tasks Division, then preparing the Continental Mark II for 1956. A hardtop coupe that would magically rework itself into a convertible appeared like the proper companion for the new extremely-luxurious flagship, so the agency put aside $2.19 million for improvement, and Particular Tasks constructed a working prototype from a 1952 Lincoln Capri convertible.
