The Ford Fairlane is a well-known Fifties automobile from the legendary company founded by Henry Ford. In fact, Fair Lane is the name of Henry Ford’s sprawling Dearborn-based estate, which was named after the place in Ireland where his adoptive grandfather was born. Naming a model after your founder’s home is indeed a fine accolade, and the Ford Fairlane lived up to its expectations. Seven generations were made between 1955 and 1970, and here’s where another iconic Ford nameplate was born – Crown Victoria. That’s what we have here, a 1955 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria from the first generation of the Fairlane series and with just 1,320 miles on the. The car comes with a 272ci Y-block V8, a manual transmission and a two-tone paint job. It’s the perfect classic car for fans of American automobiles, especially those who have an affinity for Fords.
The Ford Fairlane is a legendary name in the Blue Oval’s history, and fittingly, it takes its name from Henry Ford’s famed estate in Dearborn, Michigan. Introduced in 1955, the Fairlane spawned a variety of trims and offshoots—including the Crown Victoria and the 500—that helped define the mid-century American driving experience. While the Fairlane name was also used in overseas models, nothing beats the charm of an original American-built Sunliner like this one. Presented here is a beautifully restored 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Sunliner, located in Holtsville, New York, with just over 7,000 miles since its restoration. Among its standout features are a Continental Kit, Searchlight Mirrors, and a glove box signed by Gale Halderman—the man who not only worked on redesigning the ’57 Fairlane but also went on to pen the first-generation Mustang. According to the seller, full restoration documentation and photos are available upon request.
What’s this, the Ford Thunderbolt? Well, it’s a limited-production special of the Ford Fairlane 500 produced in 1964 exclusively for drag racing. Reportedly, only 100 cars were officially made, in manual and automatic transmission variants. One of them secured the 1964 NHRA Super Stock Championship for the Blue Oval. As you’d imagine, a proper Thunderbolt would be expensive, if you can find one at all. Thankfully, we’ve got the next best thing, a 1964 Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt Clone from New Ulm, Minnesota. This lovely tribute comes with the requisite 427 under the hood, and under 84,000 miles on the clock.
The Ford Thunderbird was made between 1955 and 1997 across ten generations, and redefined the Personal Luxury Car for Americans. In fact, it created the segment, largely inspired by the Grand Tourers of Europe. So, in the 2000s, Ford was feeling a little misty eyed and decided to create a rose-tinted eleventh generation homage to this iconic nameplate. Enter the retro-modern Thunderbird that was made between 2002 and 2005. Styled by Jack Telnack, the car sat on the Ford DEW98 platform, used an engine from Jaguar (who Ford owned at the time), and marked a return to roots of sorts, in that it was a two-seater, just like the first generation. Over 68,000 examples were made, and we have one for sale. Say hello to this original owner, all-stock 2002 Ford Thunderbird from South Jordan, Utah, that’s got just 13,085 miles on the clock.
The famous Ford F-Series was born in 1948, as America was emerging into a post-war world of promise and prosperity. Now in the fourteenth generation, the F-Series has got to be the world’s longest-running truck series, if not one of the longest. Today, the F-150 is the most popular variant as the half-tonner, but if we look at the first generation, the range simply started with the F-1 as the half-ton variant. That’s what we have here, a 1950 Ford F-1 Restomod from Groveport, Ohio. It’s received a thorough makeover with a 350ci V8 under the hood, an automatic gearbox, a converted 12-volt electrical system and more. If you want to own a classic Ford truck that you can actually enjoy driving, this 78,000-mile machine is your best option.
The fourteenth generation of the Ford F-150 was introduced in 2021, and remains the current one on sale. There are several variants, including the Raptor and Lightning, but this particular truck is a little different. You see, it’s a 2021 Ford F-150 Shelby which, as the last part of its name suggests, has received tuning by Shelby American, the company founded by the legendary Carroll Shelby. Yes, Shelby didn’t only tune Mustangs; he turned his attention to other Ford models, and after his demise, the company continues that fine legacy. So, just how potent is this machine? Well, how does 950 horsepower grab you? We’d say that it grabs you very strongly indeed. If you’d like to own this fearsome beast, it’s up for sale in Torrance with a mere 47,521 miles on it so far.
