Ford’s Thunderbird is responsible for creating the Personal Luxury Car segment in the United States, a segment that the famous, wealthy and powerful flocked to like moths to a flame in the fifties through eighties. Personal Luxury Cars were modeled on Europe’s Grand Tourers, aimed at providing smooth, swift and serene transportation across great distances while offering all the luxury niceties and creature comforts that were cutting-edge at the time. Introduced in 1955, the first-gen Thunderbird would run for a mere three model years before the second generation came about. With a mere 53,166 made, it’s not so easy to find a great example these days. However, we at Exotic Car Trader have developed somewhat of a knack for finding and offering great examples of iconic cars. This 1957 Ford Thunderbird is no exception. We’re told that the car was fully restored around 15 years ago, which explains why it still looks in great order.
Wearing an eye-catching shade of red, this 1957 Ford Thunderbird is pure Fifties design excellence. The car features a removable hardtop with the optional porthole window, a much-desired feature at the time, and one that classic car collectors covet today. Rolling on a set of wire-styled wheels with whitewall tires, this car is pure classic bliss. The interior of this 1957 Ford Thunderbird features the two-seat configuration that the first generation T-Bird came with, before switching to a four-seat layout for subsequent generations. You’ll note plenty of chrome and some beautiful Art Deco-inspired design details, particularly on the dashboard. The car also appears to include an air conditioning unit and a retro-modern push-button styled radio. Meanwhile, the trunk offers plenty of space, and includes the spare tire.
Packing a reportedly new 312ci V8, this 1957 Ford Thunderbird is ready to rock and roll along the streets of wherever you live. The engine drives a rebuilt automatic transmission, and powers the rear wheels. The car has also received new suspension and new brakes, we’re informed. This should ensure that handling and stopping power are up to par, making it an easy-driving classic that you can enjoy.

In 1955, the Ford Thunderbird entered the American luxury car market and shook it up. Aimed at bringing Americans a taste of the European Grand Touring experience, the Thunderbird was called the Personal Luxury Car. It was a powerful two-seater with a suitably spacious trunk and all the creature comforts of the day. Aimed at covering hundreds of miles with ease, the T-Bird quickly became a cult classic. Ford made ten generations until 1997, but they had a brief change of heart in 2002. Hence, a retro-modern eleventh generation was released, and made until 2005. Just 60,000 were sold, making this generation relatively rare in comparison with the early ones from the Fifties and Sixties. So, if you’ve wanted to try out one of these curios, check out this 4,475-mile 2002 Ford Thunderbird that’s for sale right now with us.

Ford introduced the Thunderbird in 1955, aiming to give Americans a slice of that Grand Touring thing that well-heeled Europeans were enjoying. Billed as a Personal Luxury Car, the Thunderbird was a segment-starter. Here was a luxurious, two-seat machine with a capacious trunk and a powerful V8 under the hood. Offering ample grunt, the T-Bird as it became known, was a machine for crossing States in a day, traveling for hours on end, and only stopping for refreshment or relief. Ten generations were made until 1997, with an eleventh produced between 2002 and 2005. This 1962 Ford Thunderbird is a great third-generation example, and it’s had some rejuvenation carried out over the past few years. Hence, it’s a fantastic classic for you to start a collection with.
Ford’s longest-running series to date, the F-Series entered production in 1948, and revolutionized small businesses across America. Here was a sturdy, capable and reliable pickup truck that came in capacities of ½ ton upwards. It offered a great way to transport your goods to market, bring back raw materials, and carry your family as well. Now we’re on the fourteenth generation of the F-Series, and there have been many greats along the way. This 2008 Ford F-150 Harley Davidson comes from the eleventh generation and is the result of a collaboration between Ford and Harley Davidson. This special edition was offered for the tenth generation as well. Furthermore, this truck comes with the Saleen supercharger package, making it one heck of a ride to own and drive.
Jack Roush found his niche as an engine development engineer at the Ford Motor Company. A few years later, his entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish his own company called Roush Performance Engineering. With the experience he gained, he and his talented team developed state-of-the-art muscle cars that combine world-class handling with Detroit-born grunt. Not long after, his efforts sparked an overwhelming demand for his engines and components. What we have here is a 2017 Ford Mustang GT Roush Stage 3, a solid example of what Roush is capable of. According to them, you can experience raw power and meticulous handling and braking capabilities with this car. It is located in Franklin, Massachusetts with just 23,014 miles on its clock.
Ford’s third generation Mustang was introduced in 1979, and quickly became known as the Fox Body, due to it sitting on Ford’s Fox platform. Designed by Jack Telnack, the third generation came as a coupe, convertible and hatchback. Thankfully, it retained the rear-wheel drive layout, despite Ford considering making it front-wheel drive during its early development days. While the Fox Body wasn’t immediately a hit, it’s considered a nice modern classic ʼStang these days. If you’re a Fox Body fan or eager to see what the Fox is like, here’s a nice 1985 Ford Mustang GT for sale. The car has seen plenty of work to make it better than factory, and comes with just 2,000 miles on the clock after a comprehensive overhaul that includes its interior, exterior, and mechanical bits.
Do you want a muscle car experience in a compact car body? That’s what Plymouth aimed to provide, with the Duster. Made between 1969 and 1976, the Duster was their two-door coupe in the compact car segment. However, Plymouth still endowed it with V8s of varying capacities, ensuring that buyers didn’t get the typically pedestrian performance that came with compact cars. If you’re interested in getting your hands on a Duster, check out this 1970 Plymouth Duster Restomod that’s for sale right now. The car has been completely restored and rocks some neat modern features.
Triumph was a well-known British sports car maker for decades. The cars were made by the Standard Motor Company of Coventry, and they offered enthusiastic buyers the typical British roadster experience of the wind in your hair and a pert little sports car to hustle around country roads. Naturally, Americans would get to experience these cars too, as evidenced by this 1962 Triumph TR3A that’s for sale right now. The car reportedly underwent a frame-off restoration in 2015, making it nice and fresh for its new owner to enjoy.
One of the most popular luxury midsize cars, the Mercedes-Benz W124 E-Class, was introduced in 1984. Since then, this sturdy German cruiser has gained a reputation for being the pinnacle of Mercedes-Benz’s bulletproof build quality and reliability. It was made as a sedan, coupe, convertible and estate. Up for sale today is a pleasant 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300CE two-door pillarless coupe with a scant 99,157 miles on the odometer. We say scant because it’s not difficult for these cars to quickly rack up mid or high six-figure mileages. So, if you want a practical modern classic that can possibly outlive you, here’s the golden ticket. The car comes with two keys, the original manual, and is reported to have all servicing done up to date.
