1957 Ford optional equipment and accessory prices

[cokefirst]

Does anyone have a price listing (list price) of the various options and accessories available for the 1957 Ford.  Some of the information is in the Specification site, but some is not.  For instance.  How much extra was the 245HP 312 engine over the base 6 cyl?  What was the price for the Fordomatic transmission.  How much was the non glare (day night) mirror.  I want to make up a fantasy window sticker showing the retail price of all the options and accessories on the vehicle.  Thanks!!!!!

Thank you for the information.  Those would be the wholesale prices, but still helpful.  It does show us the margin between the wholesale and retail price of some options.  I have also attached a listing from another site on the retail price of the options for the 57 Thunderbird.
