The Ford Thunderbird is an iconic sports car from the Blue Oval whose first generation epitomized the style of ’50s American car design. Ford called the Thunderbird “a personal car of distinction," and we can see why. Unlike its contemporary rival, the Chevrolet Corvette, the Thunderbird was more of a grand tourer in philosophy, prioritizing comfort over outright speed. Sales figures show that this was precisely what the American consumer wanted, with the first year of Thunderbird outselling the Corvette by a massive margin: some 16,000 to 670. For sale here is our 1956 Ford Thunderbird, with a 312ci V8 engine under its hood. It features the desirable hardtop with portholes that was introduced for the 1956 model year, as well as the standard softtop. With a reported 66,000 original miles, this American classic is reported to be in very original condition.
The classic hue of the Sunset Coral exterior is perfectly matched with the whitewall tires fitted to this 1956 Ford Thunderbird. This ’50s convertible comes with the desirable Continental Kit, which relocated the spare tire from the trunk to the rear. This helps improve luggage space and adds a distinctive touch to the car’s exterior. Another desirable element of our featured car is the inclusion of a hard top with porthole windows, which was first introduced as a no-cost option for the 1956 model year. The owner reports that this Thunderbird’s interior and dashboard are original. It has a black soft top and a black-and-white interior. Another high-end feature that is reported to have been specified from the factory when new is this Ford Thunderbird’s original air conditioning.
Under the hood of this 1956 Ford Thunderbird lies a 312ci V8 engine fed via a four-barrel carburetor. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a three-speed transmission. Factory power steering further enhances comfort and ease of use. Plus, with just 66,000 miles on the odometer, this Ford Thunderbird is an exceptionally low-mileage example, as reported by its owner.

There comes a time when the automotive world stands still as manufacturers churn out a car that takes the world by storm and changes the automotive landscape forever. Turn back the clock to the ’50s and Ford did just that with the release of the legendary Ford Thunderbird. From its iconic design to its performance, the Ford Thunderbird was a looker and a performance machine that helped the ’50s American automotive marketplace turn it up a notch. Present today is this lovely 1956 Ford Thunderbird. This ’50s American automotive icon has a reported 13,293 miles on the clock and looks factory fresh and ready for its new custodian.
The Ford Thunderbird is a personal luxury car made by Ford across ten generations between 1955 and 1997. A retro-modern homage briefly made an appearance between 2002 and 2005. The Thunderbird was created for Ford to offer a car that enabled comfortable, luxurious and smooth long-distance touring for two adults and their luggage. Soon enough, though, Ford realized that adding a rear seat would broaden the appeal of the T-Bird. If you’d been intrigued as to what a T-Bird is like to own and drive, check out this classic third-generation 1963 Ford Thunderbird that’s for sale right now. Coming from Washington, this car has journeyed for 81,839 miles so far.
Ford’s Thunderbird was a trailblazer in the ʼ50s and '60s. Envisioned to bring Americans a slice of that luxury grand touring lifestyle that Europeans were enjoying, the T-Bird as it was affectionately called, started life as a two-seater. Over time, it gained a rear seat as well, since Ford realized that some people liked to take their children along too, plus a rear seat meant that the car was better suited to regular family life. Ten generations of T-Bird graced our roads between 1955 and 1997. In 2002, Ford decided to create a homage, and the eleventh generation was made. This 2002 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe is one of those cars, and with just 31,368 units made for 2002, you’re part of a pretty exclusive club now. You see, the eleventh generation is poised to become a future classic, so this 28,475-mile car is a savvy investment too.
The fifth generation Ford Mustang marked a major leap over the fourth generation. Debuting for the 2005 model year, it came with new retro-modern styling that really harked back to the very first generation of Ford’s popular pony car. Under the skin, the Mustang received fresh engineering, including a new platform which really elevated its driving experience as a result. Today, the earliest examples of the fifth generation will have turned, or be turning twenty years old, and soon, they’ll be classics. That’s why you shouldn’t miss your chance to get your hands on one, and we’ve got a nice 16,300-mile 2005 Ford Mustang GT Premium Convertible from Naples, Florida for your consideration. With a few tasty bits and a nice surprise under the hood, this is a car that you’ll really cherish owning and driving.
Arguably the most popular pickup truck in the United States, the Ford F-Series is spearheaded by the F-150 half-ton variant. You’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn’t heard of the F-150, even in passing. Of course, there are some aftermarket tuners who get their hands on Ford’s signature hit, and make it even more tasty. Case In Point: this thirteenth-generation 2017 Ford F-150 XLT Supercrew Roush from Johnson City, Tennessee. Roush is an aftermarket tuning outfit that’s well-known for their madcap Mustangs, but they also extend their attention and skills to other Ford products too, like the F-150. This particular truck has covered 128,512 miles so far, showcasing that even though it’s highly tuned, it can still be used as a daily commuter with ease.
When you see the iconic Shelby branding and cobra motif on a Mustang, you know that the outfit formed by the legendary Carroll Shelby has been working their magic. For decades, Shelby Mustangs have ruled the tracks and drag strips, showing what a Mustang can be turned into when given suitable performance modifications. Shelby works with Ford and hence you can consider these to be factory-endorsed machines. In fact, the fifth generation, from which this 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible hails, was sold by Ford. This car has got only 9,000 miles on it, making it a superb buy for a Mustang aficionado. It’s also a fantastic future investment and a definitive classic in years to come.
Owning an Alfa Romeo is an act of lust, self-sacrifice and pure aural pleasure. That’s because these Italian machines are full of character, quirky, and need the appropriate maintenance to perform at their best. Neglect an Alfa Romeo and everyone will be sad (car included). However, if you look after it the way it’s meant to be, and drive it with gusto, you’ll find it quickly becoming your happy place, your solitude space. Furthermore, if you select a car like this New York-based 1997 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 TS that’s done just 37,000 miles, you’ll also be in charge of a definitive future classic, and a potentially appreciating asset.
One of the most widely sold cars in the world, over 21 million Volkswagen Beetles rolled of production facilities in Germany and other countries over the car’s exceptionally long lifecycle. In fact, the Beetle was introduced in 1938 and finally bid adieu to the world in 2003. This lovable, bug-shaped economy car has been responsible for shaping countless family lifestyles, acting as reliable and dependable transportation across the globe. It’s not uncommon to hear of life-saving stories that feature a Beetle in them. That’s why we’re proud to offer this 62,497-mile 1972 Volkswagen Beetle from Warwick, New York, for sale to one lucky new owner. A Beetle makes for an excellent starter classic car, as it’s simple and cheap to maintain, easy to drive, and offers a slice of classic motoring without much of the related compromises. This car also comes with the original owners manual and original service records included with the sale.
The Chevrolet brand set the standard for American automobiles in the 60s, and it only takes one look at this 1965 Chevrolet Chevelle Deluxe Wagon to understand why. The simple and straightforward nature of the car speaks to the American spirit. With the wagon form, this Chevelle packed with a host of upgrades, after reportedly undergoing a full restoration with a 410 hp 383ci stroker engine, a new paint job in 2015 according to the current owner, aftermarket wheels, new tires and an all-new interior. If you’re looking for an classic that is unique, then this Chevelle is what you’re looking for.
