The car market was in full swing back in the 50s. The sleek and artistic European vehicles stood among the large and exuberant American cars. Chevrolet's answer to that was the Chevrolet Corvette. With the all-new American sports car taking the world by storm, Ford released the Thunderbird and referred to it as a "personal car of distinction". The Thunderbird was a larger car compared to the Corvette but blended that 50s excess and modern-day styling exceptionally well. History lesson aside, the first generation Ford Thunderbird even today, is a looker, Drive-by with the top down alongside a scenic route, and you sure feel like you are in a movie. With the lovely 1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible, we have today, you can potentially own a piece of American car history. What's better is that this car has been with the same owner for 30 years and has reportedly seen a full restoration in the 90s, with just 62,486 miles clocked in since its restoration.
The Thunderbird was inspired and built to replicate the bespoke roadsters of the 1930s, it sure lived up to its assignment. This 1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible sports a white exterior that makes this larger car look grander and more prominent; the seller reports that the original color was Gun Metal Gray with black. The car also comes with a soft white top and a matching hard top. The chrome trim on the car is in great shape, with the bumpers reported to be Re Chromed. In an ode to its factory looks the car rides on Turbine wheel covers wrapped with white wall tires. Nothing matches a white exterior better than the red exterior present on this 1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible. All that luxurious 50s interior trim is still in place, with the interior being refreshed and looking factory fresh.
Good looks aside, you also got decent performance in this 1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible. Powering this American beauty is the bigger 312ci (5.1L) V8 engine; the engine is reported to be a D code V8 which means the car is equipped with a single 4-barrel carburetor and, when new, could push out 245hp. Power is sent to the car's rear-wheel through a three-speed Fordomatic Automatic transmission. The power steering unit, while not original, has been rebuilt and makes for a more enjoyable drive. The car also has regular service and maintenance reported to keep it happily chugging along.
In the ʼ00s, Ford decided to honor its timeless Thunderbird personal luxury car with a retro-modern eleventh generation. Produced for just three short years, this eleventh-generation T-Bird saw over 60,000 units made. Heavily inspired by the first generation from the 1950s, this new T-Bird sat on a modern platform, and used a V8 from Jaguar, of all places. Today, we’ve got a 2003 Ford Thunderbird for those who are intrigued by this pastiche of ʼ50s styling and ʼ00s mechanicals and creature comforts. The car has done only 8,312 miles, making it a real rare find, and a definitive future classic.
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’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.
The Ford Bronco is one of the most prolific four-by-fours in the United States. Introduced in 1965, it’s widely considered to be a pioneer of the American Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) craze. Five generations were made until 1996 when Ford decided to put the Bronco out to pasture. Enthusiasts weren’t pleased, and hounded the Blue Oval for decades, literally. To finally get them off their backs, Ford debuted the all-new sixth-generation Bronco in 2021, and things have been great. The sixth-generation Bronco has won over fans of classic ones, as well as carved out a new audience of younger people who desire to venture into the wilderness so that they can TikTok and Instagram their escapades. Regardless of which camp you belong to, this 2024 Ford Bronco Hennessey Velociraptor 500 is definitely worth consideration. It’s a custom build by tuners Hennessey Performance, and bears less than 5,000 miles on the clock. You’ll also know how much horsepower it has merely by reading out its full title. Furthermore, it’s 1 of only 200 built with the Freedom Package.
Ford’s Mustang created a cult, started a trend, and spearheaded a segment. Thanks to Ford’s dynamic team, which included Lee Iacocca, Donald Frey, and Gale Helderman, the Mustang was meant to be a sporty but accessible car that could perform family duties as well. Hence, the pony car was born. Depending on which school of inspiration you believe, the Mustang is named after the legendary P-51 Mustang aircraft, as well as the American quarter horse of the same name. Nevertheless, owning a first-generation Mustang is a bucket list item for many, and we’ve got a lovingly restored 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback for sale today. The car’s full restoration concluded in 2023, and it has a stroked V8 engine that provides more power.
In a world of electric cars and small turbocharged engines, we find gems that go against the grain, like the Ford Mustang you see here. A thoroughbred sports car, the Mustang is the ultimate definition of excess. the newest generation S650 Mustang is a perfect blend of classic muscle and modern technology. Meanwhile, RTR (a.k.a Ready To Rock) is a sub-division owned and headed by formula drift champion Vaughn Gittin Jr. responsible for tuning and turning the already bonkers Mustang into a tire-burning absolute monster of a machine. This example we have on offer is a 2024 Mustang GT RTR Spec 2 with just 735 miles on the odometer.
