1956 Ford Thunderbird

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$50,000
SOLD

The 1956 Ford Thunderbird represents the second year of Ford’s first-generation “personal luxury car,” a model that blended sporty styling with everyday comfort. Designed to compete with the Chevrolet Corvette while offering greater practicality, the Thunderbird quickly became one of the most recognizable American cars of the 1950s. For 1956, Ford introduced several improvements including the distinctive porthole hardtop windows and rear-mounted spare tire option, both of which enhanced the car’s character and functionality. Finished in striking Peacock Blue with a contrasting Colonial White hardtop, this Thunderbird captures the elegance and optimism of mid-century American automotive design while remaining one of the most iconic classics of its era.

1981 DeLorean DMC 12

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$105,000

Back To The Future Fans, rejoice! We’ve got a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 for sale today. Coming to you in all its resplendent stainless steel glory, this gullwing doored machine rocks just 4,548 miles on the clock! Introduced in 1981 and produced for just two years, the car was the brainchild of John Z. DeLorean. If the name is familiar, he’s one of the men responsible for the Pontiac GTO in the Sixties! DeLorean founded his own company in the early Eighties, asked renowned automotive designer Giorgetto Giugiaro to design the car’s exterior, and went into production. However, various internal and external factors meant that this space-age machine was discontinued by 1983. In total, over 7,500 were made, making this a pretty exclusive machine to own. This car currently resides in Parkland, Florida, and awaits a new owner.
