The first-generation Thunderbird was introduced in 1954 as Ford’s answer to the Chevy Corvette that came out the year before. To call it a direct competitor of the Vette would, however, be inaccurate. While the Corvette was a small and lightweight 2-seater with a fiberglass body (to compete with European sports cars), the T-Bird was more of a 2-seater personal luxury car for a younger demographic of buyers (being smaller and lighter than most Detroit products at the time). In fact, in its first production year, it outsold the Corvette by a massive margin. In total, over 53,000 first-generation Thunderbirds were made in 3 years of production, with 1957 being the most successful year.
This beautiful 1957 T-Bird is Flame Red (color code: W XH) with a matching red interior. It has reportedly had a body off restoration by a Senior Master Concours Thunderbird judge. The condition of the car certainly seems to be testimony to this; the chrome and paintwork appear to be in pristine condition, no abnormal panel gaps are visible, there are no visible blemishes or creases on the upholstery, and even the engine bay looks spotless. Being a 1957 model, it has a redesigned front bumper, and bigger taillights, tailfins and front grille. 1957 also saw the spare wheel being moved back inside the trunk, mounted vertically. This car is equipped with power windows, a 4-way “Dial-o-Matic” power seat (with matching red lap belts) and an accessory back up light system. It also comes with both tops – the porthole top seen in the pictures being an option introduced by Ford in 1956 to address the visibility issues of the 1955 cars. The white interior lining of the porthole top contrasts well with the red interior.
The Thunderbird was originally available with a 292ci V8 with a choice of automatic and manual transmissions, but in 1956, a 312ci V8 was added as an option. This vehicle has the 312ci V8 (which has been rebuilt) and the Ford-O-Matic 3 speed automatic transmission. It also has Master Guide power steering and Swift Sure power brakes.

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. Turn back the clock to the ’50s and Ford did just that with the release of the legendary Ford Thunderbird. From its iconic design to its performance, the Ford Thunderbird was a looker and a performance machine that helped the ’50s American automotive marketplace turn it up a notch. Present today is this lovely 1956 Ford Thunderbird. This ’50s American automotive icon has a reported 13,293 miles on the clock and looks factory fresh and ready for its new custodian.
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.
Customizing ones machine is a task that is received by massive aftermarket support. The Ford Mustang for instance features aftermarket support that can help make your pony stand out or even clock some rapid lap times. Present today is this 2019 Ford Mustang GT Premium RTR Spec, its the perfect blend of aesthetics and performance, has a reported 8,479 miles on its clock and is even signed by Vaughn Gittin Jr for added effect.
The fifth generation Ford Mustang marked a major leap over the fourth generation. Debuting for the 2005 model year, it came with new retro-modern styling that really harked back to the very first generation of Ford’s popular pony car. Under the skin, the Mustang received fresh engineering, including a new platform which really elevated its driving experience as a result. Today, the earliest examples of the fifth generation will have turned, or be turning twenty years old, and soon, they’ll be classics. That’s why you shouldn’t miss your chance to get your hands on one, and we’ve got a nice 16,300-mile 2005 Ford Mustang GT Premium Convertible from Naples, Florida for your consideration. With a few tasty bits and a nice surprise under the hood, this is a car that you’ll really cherish owning and driving.
The Ford F-150 is probably the most popular half-ton pickup truck around. Hailing from Ford’s popular F-Series with roots in 1948, the half-tonner started as the F-1, then the F-100, and finally became the F-150 later in life. Across our great country, F-150s serve family and work purposes at the same time, and rarely if ever let their owners down – if they do, it’s usually due to poor maintenance or careless driving. While the majority of F-150s are aimed at usability, there are some performance derivatives around as well. Case in point, this 2022 Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake that tells you all you need to know about it in one word: Shelby. Yes, Carroll Shelby’s iconic tuning outfit didn’t only fettle Mustangs; they were rather open to experimentation on other vehicles too. Today, this 21,848-mile super truck from Texas could be yours, and it’s received a recent servicing too.
Duality is an important factor when purchasing your next machine, blistering performance on track plus smiles per gallon on a spirited drive is the ideal sweet spot for many. Present today is just that and takes shape with this 1968 Chevrolet Camaro.
The Volkswagen Beetle was truly the people’s car and its production numbers was a clear sign of that. With massive production numbers, standing out in the world of peace, love and happiness was truly a task. Present today is a Volkswagen Beetle that is out of the ordinary and takes shape with this lovely 1978 Volkswagen Super Beetle Champagne edition. With just 1,100 examples produced and just a mere 36,800 miles on its clock, this low mileage limited edition German classic has all the charm a Volkswagen Beetle brings to your life and then some more.
In 1963, Chevy introduced the second generation of their popular Corvette sports car and Americans went wild for it. While the first generation was groundbreaking, the second generation was, simply put, evolutionary. The coupe sported a new split-screen rear window that, sadly, had to be axed after just one year due to rearward visibility issues. No such worries with the convertible, which came with a slick metal hardtop that could be removed and kept at home. Today, we’ve got a nice 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible for sale for the discerning collector or eager first-time classic car aficionado to purchase. This car hails from Rogers, Texas, and has covered over 75,000 miles in its life. This tells you everything you need to know; that it’s a car that’s truly worth driving and enjoying. Furthermore, this car comes with a reportedly numbers-matching engine and transmission, further elevating its collectible status.
