@CVJR – Hello. Can add a picture of the carburetor with the air cleaner removed. Your add states it has a teapot carburetor; a Holley 4bbl list # 1273 would be the correct carburetor for a 1957 D code Thunderbird. ...
It is a Holley 1848. Waiting on a photo from Tyler in the showroom. Thanks!

@chatche2 – Is that a tonneau cover behind the seats? The photos do not show where the exhaust exits, since there are plugs in the bumper where the exhaust usually exits, so where do they come out? ...
It is not a tonneau, it is just the vinyl cover that hides the soft top that, which all of them had. It is still a full exhaust with mufflers that turn down right behind the bumpers. The owner didn't want the bumper turning colors or anything so he ended the exhaust before the bumper. If you wanted it to exit from the bumper it would require an exhaust shop to add about a foot on each side.

@MoleEddie – Any thing wrong with the seats have some kind of covers on. ...
There is nothing wrong with the seats. It does not have covers on it, that is the stock style upholstery.

@Hartfordcoupe – brakes ...
It has manual brakes that are dialed in and stop the vehicle very well with no pulling.
