The original Ford Thunderbird may have appeared around the same time as the Chevrolet Corvette, but each model had very different philosophies. While the Corvette tried to focus on sporting pedigree and performance, the Thunderbird appealed to the more traditional consumer—one who cared more about comfort, cruising, and exploring the blacktop. If that’s the kind of classic motoring experience you’re looking for, then look no further than our 1957 Ford Thunderbird. The original Ford Thunderbird is known for its good looks and luxurious features. Our featured car comes with a reported 63,500 miles on the odometer and a recently rebuilt transmission.
The exterior appearance of the Ford Thunderbird is pure ’50s Americana. The car was designed to seat just two and was marketed as a “personal luxury car”—the kind of car that appealed to a distinct set of well-heeled individuals. With its circular headlamps up front, understated grille, and small tailfins, the Thunderbird's design was beautifully restrained. As shown with our feature car, for 1957 the Thunderbird's spare tire was moved to the rear bumper in a “continental” style layout, allowing for more trunk space. Our featured car has a color-coded theme, with a white exterior, white soft top, and white wall tires. Also included in the sale is a white hardtop, which is reported to require assembly. Step inside and the white theme is replaced by swaths of red leather. Even the large steering wheel features a red rim, complemented by a chrome horn ring. There’s more textured metal on the dash, which includes a 140 mph speedometer and a period radio featuring town and country settings. This car is reported to be all original and comes with a set of two keys.
Under the hood of this 1957 Ford Thunderbird lies a 292ci V8 motor that is reported to be original to the car. Feeding the eight cylinders is a four-barrel carburetor for optimum performance. The Thunderbird also features its original automatic transmission, which is reported to have been rebuilt less than 10,000 miles ago.

With a name like Thunderbird, you’d expect the automobile in question to be quite spectacular, and Ford didn’t disappoint. Conceived in the ʼ50s and debuting for the 1955 model year, the Thunderbird was modeled on the Grand Tourer segment of Europe, and called the Personal Luxury Car in the USA. In fact, one could argue that Ford created this segment with the introduction of the two-seat, plushly-appointed, V8-powered Thunderbird. While the first generation sold in healthy numbers, Ford executives knew that the car had more potential. So, when the second generation came in 1968, it sported a rear seat. This was to make the Thunderbird appealing to well-heeled families, performing a role as their primary family hauler while retaining its sporty and luxurious long-distance cruising abilities. Today’s 1964 Ford Thunderbird comes from the fourth generation of this iconic American nameplate, and has just over 200,000 miles showing. The car has undergone some work, and all receipts are said to be available.
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.

Present today is this lovely 1956 Ford Thunderbird. This ’50s American automotive icon has a reported 13,000 miles on the clock and looks factory fresh and ready for its new custodian.

Widely considered as one of the first proper American Sport Utility Vehicles, the Ford Bronco came in 1966, and ran for five generations until 1996. Ford then decided to withdraw the nameplate, amidst some grumbling from the public. However, they had a change of heart two and a half decades later, and a sixth generation Bronco debuted in 2021, to much cheering and applause. The all-new sixth generation Bronco retains many signature features of the original, including removable doors and roof. Plus, it’s got some decent performance. But for those who crave more than decent, we’ve got a custom build by Hennessey Performance right here.

Ford’s Model T was such a runaway hit that they had to really knock it out of the park with a successor. Cue up 1927’s Ford Model A, of which over 4.8 million were sold by 1932. The Model A brought about many improvements, including a 3-speed gearbox, a top speed of over 65mph which was positively dizzying in those days, and the traditional layout of clutch, brake, accelerator pedals from left to right. Very few will know that a Model T also had three pedals but with totally different arrangements. Finding a Model A in pristine order is still tough, but we’ve got an appealing 1929 Ford Model A Roadster for sale today. Coming from Natick, Massachusetts, this car boasts 90,000 miles and looks in great condition for something that’s just four years shy of its Centurion birthday.
Third generation or C3 Corvettes are well known for their muscular styling in particular. This era basically saw the Corvette lift its looks straight from a concept car of the time, and even though it passed through one of the worst times in American automotive history; the Malaise Era, the Corvette was still one of the fastest cars that could be bought. That makes the C3 a survivor and a definitive classic that is worth investing in. Want a particularly well looked after C3? This reportedly climate controlled garage kept 1977 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe from Davie, Florida looks like an appealing buy. The car has got a light 22,067 miles to its name and is a single-owner vehicle, we’re told.
