The 1957 Ford Thunderbird came from the factory with power steering. If the unit is not functioning properly it may be unsafe to drive it. So, yes, the system should be fixed if not propelry working. If you located a 1957 Thunderbird that did not have power steering factory installed, there is no benefit to doing the extensive work to fit the equipment, and it will lower the value of this rare car you found.
