Ford’s Thunderbird kicked off the segment known as the personal luxury car when it entered the market in October 1954. Ten generations were produced from 1955 to 1997, and the eleventh generation entered the market in 2001 as a retro homage, and ran for four years. The Thunderbird name is a reference to the mythical legendary creature in North American indigenous history. If you are looking to own a Thunderbird, or T-Bird as they are affectionately called, here’s a nice 1956 Ford Thunderbird Roadster Continental Package to consider. It’s coming from California with 77,770 miles on the clock, and has the original invoice and owner’s manual thrown in with the sale. Only 15,631 units were produced in 1956, adding to this car’s desirability.
The first-generation Thunderbird went from idea to prototype in approximately one year. It shares styling cues with Fifties Fords, but is longer, lower, and sleeker to reflect its luxurious ethos. This 1956 Ford Thunderbird Roadster Continental Package wears a proud Colonial White paintwork and has the aforementioned Continental Package which includes the rear-mounted spare wheel that increases trunk space. The current owner reports that the soft top was new when he purchased the car, and the hard top is included with the sale too. Wheels with chromed Ford hubcaps and whitewall tires complete the classy outlook. The interior is in Peacock Blue and seats two occupants. This T-Bird has power windows, power steering and power seats and a modern radio with CD installed. The original factory radio is included with the sale should the buyer prefer it. The three-spoke chrome-ringed steering wheel is also in Peacock Blue, and a tachometer sits to the left of the speedometer, whilst the corresponding space on the right is taken up by the clock.
The first-generation Thunderbird had two V8 options and this 1956 Ford Thunderbird Roadster Continental Package is packing the larger 312ci (5.1L) Y-block V8 which drives the rear wheels through a three speed manual transmission with overdrive. This car is reported to sport a numbers-matching engine and transmission. The engine is said to have put out around 210hp, which was enough for a top speed in excess of 100mph.

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.
Ford’s segment creator, the Thunderbird brought us the Personal Luxury Car in 1955. Ten generations of T-Bird were made until 1997, and an eleventh was sold from 2002 to 2005. Even today, the Thunderbird evokes strong recognition and remains a desirable classic car for many, especially those whose parents or grandparents owned a T-Bird back then. If you’re one of those people, we have this second-generation 1959 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe for sale in our inventory. Coming from Woodbine, Georgia, this 98,461-mile car packs a 352 under the hood, a two-tone interior and an automatic gearbox too. Call us if you’d like to own it.
The 1956 Ford Thunderbird represents one of the most iconic American personal luxury cars of the 1950s, melding graceful styling with V8 power in a two-seat roadster format. This example presents beautifully in red with a matching red interior, exuding 1950s glamour and Americana. Under the hood, it retains its factory-correct 292ci V8 with the signature Thunderbird script valve covers and a Holley “Teapot” 4-barrel carburetor, delivering a smooth, refined driving experience through a Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission. This car is a rolling tribute to an era when design and simplicity defined American excellence.
First generation Ford Mustangs are some of the most popular first-time classic cars around. Think we’re mistaken? Well, based on the amount of them that we’ve shifted, we beg to differ. With well over 2.5 million first-gen ‘Stangs created, there’s definitely no shortage of them around. You’ve got six or eight-cylinder power, three alluring body styles to pick from, and manual or automatic transmissions. So, choosing a first-generation Mustang is really down to your specific tastes and desires. Today’s example is a 1970 Ford Mustang Convertible from Portland, Oregon. It’s got a 302ci V8 under the hood, paired with a 3-speed SelectShift automatic gearbox, and also rocks an aftermarket radio. So do let us know if you’d like to own this sub-36,000 mile pony.
The Ford Model A of 1927 to 1931 was the follow-up to Ford’s famous Model T, that had revolutionized mobility across the world, as well as laid the foundations for many of the automotive industry’s assembly line and mass standardization practices. Many of those advances are still in use today. So, the Model A had a pretty lofty reputation to continue, and it admirably did so. Despite just five model years, over 4.8 million were made, across various body styles. The Model A also came with the standard pedal arrangement for manual transmission-equipped vehicles that we know today, unlike the Model T’s unconventional control layout. Today’s 1930 Ford Model A 5-Window Hot Rod is quite different from a regular Model T, though. Well, for starters it only has two pedals because this machine packs a 3-speed automatic gearbox. That’s not all, there’s a 350ci V8 under the hood, a custom paint job, and under 15,000 miles on the clock since this machine got an extensive do-over. If you’d like to acquire this funky hot rod, it’s currently sitting in Yorba Linda, California.
Ford’s Focus isn’t that popular in America. It’s more of a European hero in the compact car class, where roads are smaller, town centers are tighter and compact cars rule the roost. Here, the Focus would be considered almost too small for our larger-than-life tastes. But hang on, what about the hot variant of the Focus? Specifically, the RS? Now we’re talking, because this is a spicy turbocharged hot hatch with all-wheel drive and 350 horses to be delivered. In fact, the engine of the third generation Focus RS, which is where this 2016 Ford Focus RS for sale hails from, is directly derived from the EcoBoost unit in the sixth-generation Mustang! So if you’re interested, this 86,000-mile car is up for sale in Riverside, California. It’s a four-door, too, so family practicality is another of its strong selling points, in case you need to convince your significant other as to why this car should be in your garage or driveway.
