Have you heard about the ‘personal luxury car’ category? The Ford Thunderbird is the model responsible for creating it. Produced from 1955 to 1997 over ten generations, with an eleventh generation running from 2002 to 2005, the Thunderbird, fondly known as the T-Bird focused on driver comforts and luxuries, rather than outright speed. Nevertheless, it would pack a V8 under the hood. This is a 1956 Ford Thunderbird Convertible from the first generation. Coming from Colorado, this example is reported to have undergone a professional minter restoration with only 49 test miles since then. It’s also reported to have won the Classic Thunderbird Club International Senior Gold Medallion Show. It’s said that this car was sold new in Los Angeles.
1956 saw the Thunderbird gain more trunk space which was partially a result of moving the spare wheel to the rear fender Continental style. This 1956 Ford Thunderbird Convertible wears a lovely Buck Skin Tan paint job and rolls on reportedly new, real wire Thunderbird wheels. It comes with both tops; the porthole hardtop is also in Buck Skin Tan whilst soft top is in chocolate brown with Haartz cloth. The interior features an inviting Milk Chocolate Brown and White color scheme and sports seating for two on a bench seat. It appears to be in stunning condition just like the exterior. It’s also got the 1956 Town and Country radio installed in the dash, as well as the little tachometer to the left of the large speedo. The odometer shows the correct post-restoration mileage too. All chrome bits gleam, and makes this car look factory fresh.
The Thunderbird was offered with a very American V8 gasoline powerplant, and the first generation had either 292ci (4.8L) or 312ci (5.1L) options. This 1956 Ford Thunderbird Convertible bears the larger engine, the 312ci V8 which is rated for an unstressed 225hp. It sends the power to the rear wheels via a Ford-O-Matic three speed automatic transmission. Power steering and Ford Swiftsure power brakes are present too, showing that this car is a suave cruiser rather than brash bruiser.

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.
