Ford pioneered the personal luxury car with the Thunderbird of 1955, a luxury car to be enjoyed solo, or with a single passenger accompanying, in contrast to the typical full-size luxury car where one is driven, rather than drives. Hailing from the first generation, we’ve got a fine 1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible up for sale that’s on its second owner, and has been with the same family since 1968. It’s done 107,000 miles since leaving the Ford factory gates, and comes with a fine set of luxury options for the Fifties. A worthwhile weekend cruiser, this T-Bird is a chance to own a slice of American motoring history, as well as a digital detox machine. Only 21,380 examples were built in 1957, so you’re in a fairly exclusive club if you choose to add this to your garage. Plenty of documentation is provided, including owner’s manual, shop manual, receipts, and brochures.
Sporting a very Fifties Dusk Rose Pink paintwork, this 1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible has a black convertible soft top, as well as a color-matched hard top included in the sale. All badges are in great condition, as are the wire-style hubcaps, and the whitewall tires only add to the timeless allure of this American classic. The first generation is also notable for the single headlamps, before the second generation switched to twin headlamps. The Colonial White interior is in similarly good nick, and highlights another first generation Thunderbird characteristic – only two seats. The second generation onwards saw a rear seat included for increased versatility, making the first generation particularly unique in this aspect. You’ve got powered bench-style seats, lovely thin-rimmed steering wheel, Vintage Air AC, power windows, and the original AM radio which is reported to be functional. Pop the trunk and you’ll find the white and pink rimmed spare wheel tucked neatly on a side.
Beneath the hood of this 1957 Ford Thunderbird Convertible lies its original 312ci V8, which has been overhauled with an increased bore, and has received a recent engine service too. Output was said to be around 250hp, and sent rearwards via a three-speed Fordomatic automatic transmission.
The Ford Thunderbird is a personal luxury car made by Ford across ten generations between 1955 and 1997. A retro-modern homage briefly made an appearance between 2002 and 2005. The Thunderbird was created for Ford to offer a car that enabled comfortable, luxurious and smooth long-distance touring for two adults and their luggage. Soon enough, though, Ford realized that adding a rear seat would broaden the appeal of the T-Bird. If you’d been intrigued as to what a T-Bird is like to own and drive, check out this classic third-generation 1963 Ford Thunderbird that’s for sale right now. Coming from Washington, this car has journeyed for 81,839 miles so far.
Ford’s Thunderbird was a trailblazer in the ʼ50s and '60s. Envisioned to bring Americans a slice of that luxury grand touring lifestyle that Europeans were enjoying, the T-Bird as it was affectionately called, started life as a two-seater. Over time, it gained a rear seat as well, since Ford realized that some people liked to take their children along too, plus a rear seat meant that the car was better suited to regular family life. Ten generations of T-Bird graced our roads between 1955 and 1997. In 2002, Ford decided to create a homage, and the eleventh generation was made. This 2002 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe is one of those cars, and with just 31,368 units made for 2002, you’re part of a pretty exclusive club now. You see, the eleventh generation is poised to become a future classic, so this 28,475-mile car is a savvy investment too.
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.
The first generation Ford Mustang was a smooth cruiser when it had an in-line six-cylinder engine under the hood. Frugal yet fun motoring was possible in this pioneering pony car. Yet, when equipped with the larger V8 engines, the Mustang turned into a true thoroughbred of the racetrack or drag strip. Cars such as this 1967 Ford Mustang GTA offered thrilling acceleration and a stirring V8 soundtrack, paired with the relative ease of an automatic transmission. The engine’s massive power and torque figures meant that even with the slushbox, performance was impressive. This particular car has covered 51,000 miles, comes with the GTA Package and is up for sale in Bownstown Township, Michigan. You’d better act fast to grab it.
The 1968 Ford Bronco has always held a legendary place in the off-road world—but this fully restored and thoroughly upgraded example takes things to a whole new level. Powered by a professionally built 331ci stroker V8 and loaded with high-performance components, this Bronco blends vintage charm with modern capability. With just 926 miles since its full restoration, it offers the raw mechanical appeal of a classic 4x4, combined with the refinement of modern engineering and thoughtful upgrades throughout.
Ford’s Mustang has been around for over sixty years and is now in its seventh generation. It’s one of those relatively rare nameplates that’s been around since the time of your parents, and your grandparents as well, if you’re a Millenial or Gen Z’er. Few automotive nameplates can claim such fame, or celebrate anniversaries in spades. Take this fourth-generation 2004 Ford Mustang GT Deluxe Convertible 40th Anniversary as a prime example. Having traveled a smidge over 28,000 miles and currently chilling out in Maryland, this drop-top pony could be your weekend ride, as well as a significant nest egg, given that it’ll be a classic very soon. The car reportedly comes with all maintenance up to date, for peace of mind.
