Ford created the Personal Luxury Car segment in the United States when it launched the Thunderbird in 1955. This initially two-seat luxury car was actually modeled after the Grand Tourers of Europe and can be considered their Stateside equivalent. The Thunderbird would see production across eleven generations before bidding goodbye in 2005. This 1955 Ford Thunderbird is a fine example for a discerning collector, as it's a low-miler, showing just 22,600 miles on the odometer. Just 16,155 examples were produced in 1955, making this T-Bird something of a rare piece of American automotive history as well.
Sporting a lovely period white paint job, this 1955 Ford Thunderbird is a stunner to behold. At 175 inches in length, it is about equivalent to a modern-day compact car, but with a thousand times more character. Note the details such as the chrome bumpers, chrome-ringed exhaust exits, tailfins, wrap-around windshield, and whitewall tires. It's all in excellent condition, showcasing this car's good life so far. There's a black convertible top that can be dropped for joyous motoring in fine weather. Inside, you'll find a black and white cabin with a single bench seat for two occupants. The second generation onwards added a rear seat, which makes the first generation that little bit more special, as it stays true to Ford's original design brief of a two-seater. The current owner reports that some extra gauges have been added to better monitor the powertrain, including battery voltage and oil pressure. We also observe the original push-button radio neatly nestling in the dashboard, and there's Vintage Air air conditioning, albeit reportedly not functional at this moment. Moving on, we find a delightful brown-rimmed three-spoke steering wheel, and the original gauges are still present, including the tachometer. There's little else to distract you, as you won't have to fiddle around with touchscreens or figure out smartphone integration. Digital detox, we say.
This 1955 Ford Thunderbird is propelled by a 292ci Y-block overhead-valve V8, coupled with a 3-speed Fordomatic automatic transmission and sending drive to the rear wheels. There's power steering to aid in maneuvering the car in tight spots as well.

The 1957 Ford Thunderbird was an icon the moment it left its factory floors; it had iconic '50s styling that was jaw-dropping, the luxury that most '50s American motors are renowned for, and performance that was supposed to take on the first-generation Chevrolet Corvette. Present today is not just any first-generation Ford Thunderbird, but this sought-after 1957 Ford Thunderbird E-Code. Built to turn heads as you drive by, this 50s icon can be your weekend cruiser that's best enjoyed with its top-down and picturesque back road.
The Ford Thunderbird was America's take on Europe's famous Grand Tourers. Debuting for the 1955 model year, Ford billed the T-bird as a Personal Luxury Car. This meant a two-seater with a large engine, effortless cruising capabilities, ample cargo space, and a luxurious passenger cabin. As time passed by, the Thunderbird did indeed gain a rear seat to appeal to a wider audience. Ten generations were made, and an eleventh made an appearance between 2002 and 2005 as a homage to the original. This particular 1966 Ford Thunderbird is a lovely fourth-generation example that's up for sale with a mere 82,669 miles on the clock. Furthermore, it's reported to still contain the original engine and has received some refreshment work as well.
When you think of great automotive design throughout the years, there's an unlikely addition to one of the greats. The classic Ford Thunderbird was a legend when it rolled off the factory floors, with looks that defined the American automotive scene in the '50s and performance intended to match the legendary first-generation Corvette. Present today is this 1957 Ford Thunderbird; this American classic is in pristine condition and is looking for a new custodian to navigate weekend drives in style.
The original Mustang Boss 302 of the late 1960’s is an iconic muscle car in every respect. So, when Ford decided to resurrect the idea in 2012, the bar was already set high. Many feared the reincarnated Boss 302 would be nothing more than a marketing exercise that evoked memories of the original through visual upgrades and nothing more. However, the fears were put to rest when the car was unveiled. While visually, the 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 does differ from the GT500, there was so much more going on under the skin. The result was almost universally praised by the press, with an extra 32 horsepower from the engine, a completely revised approach to the car’s suspension, and improved brakes. If that wasn’t enough, the Boss 302 presented today has gone under some significant modifications by GALPIN Auto Sports. With a host of upgrades, and some eliminations, this Mustang is set as a proper track car with a gutted interior and a new 5.2L V8 engine that features other functional upgrades that could be the perfect track-weapon in your garage.

There are few cars that can embed themselves into popular culture the way the achingly beautiful third-generation Chevrolet Impala has. The model featured many design flourishes that epitomized the ’50s and ‘60s, including the car’s long and flowing lines, low roof, lashing of chrome, wrap-around windshield, and distinctive c-pillar design. The car we offer for sale here takes the traditional Impala recipe and adds so much more. Under the hood, you’ll find a modern GM LS V8 engine, which just so happens to have a supercharger strapped to it for good measure. This 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS restomod has undergone an extensive restoration and features a host of new parts and upgraded tech. It could be yours, with just 2,500 miles recorded since the restoration was completed.

The golden era of muscle cars is widely thought to have peaked around the late ’60s and early ’70s. It was the time before stricter emissions and economic regulations came into play that put an end to the ever-swelling engine capacities and power outputs that manufacturers used to lure customers into their showrooms. The 1969 Pontiac GTO Coupe defined this golden era. With its stunning and aggressive design and scarcely believable engine configurations under the hood, the GTO is a true muscle car in every sense of the word. Our featured vehicle celebrates this era of design and power. It comes with the iconic 400 ci engine that has been freshly rebuilt, along with a host of new parts and accessories, enabling you to taste the best of the original muscle car era.
