In 1954, Ford dropped a bomb that would shake up the automotive industry. They essentially created a segment called the Personal Luxury Car with the introduction of the Thunderbird. Enjoying a production run from 1954 to 1997 spanning ten generations, and a revival of an eleventh generation that ran between 2001 and 2005, the Thunderbird nameplate has been firmly cemented in Ford history as the car that Americanized what was previously known in Continental Europe as the Grand Tourer. Why not get in on the T-Bird action with this 1960 Ford Thunderbird on sale? This Maine-based car has seen some refurbishment and looks great.
The second-generation Thunderbird ran between 1958 and 1960 and brought some really stunning designs. Elwood Engel penned the lines that you see in these pictures on this 1960 Ford Thunderbird, that wears a suave black paintwork. Parked next to contemporary American cars of the Fifties and Sixties, you really see how low the Thunderbird is, as it was nine inches shorter than the average American car, and ground clearance was just 5.8 inches, giving the impression of it just sailing along the road on those beautiful wire wheels with white-wall tires. All badging and chrome work looks great on this car too. Pop open those doors and see just how long they are, no longer does one need to push or tilt the front seats forwards in order to gain access to the rear. The interior features a lovely art-deco late Fifties theme, in black and white. This generation marks when the Thunderbird first gained a rear seat to accommodate an additional two occupants, in order to increase its appeal across a broader segment. This car has received a new dash panel and rebuilt fuel and temperature gauges. Interior features and chrome work are in great condition too.
This 1960 Ford Thunderbird is powered by a 352ci V8 engine that is actually the smaller of the two offerings on the second generation, the other one being a 430ci V8. The engine put out 300hp and 395lb-ft to the rear wheels via a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. This car also has power steering and power brakes with a new brake booster. A recent oil change is reported, as well as a new starter. The owner is unsure about whether the motor and transmission are numbers-matching.

Ford’s contribution to American motoring history in the luxury segment, the Thunderbird came in 1955 and created the Personal Luxury Car segment. The idea was to replicate what was called the Grand Tourer in Europe. After all, the United States was gaining some fine interstates, crisscrossing the land and connecting East and West. There was stunning scenery, interesting culture and culinary delights to be explored. All the well-heeled needed was a suitable car to connect them all with. That’s where the Personal Luxury Car came in. The Thunderbird ran from 1955 to 1997 across ten generations, then a homage eleventh generation was made between 2002 and 2005. Today’s 1989 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe is from the tenth generation and resides in Delray Beach, Florida. It’s got just 10,500 miles on its wheels, and a supercharged engine under its hood! Join us as we tell you more, and if you’d like to own this car, we’re ready to help.
Known as the creator of the Personal Luxury Car segment, Ford’s Thunderbird drew inspiration from Europe’s grand tourers—machines built for comfort, elegance, and long-distance cruising.

Ford gives its Mustang pony car plenty of gallop straight from the factory. But what if you want a raging racehorse instead? Well, that’s where you’d need to venture into the realm of Shelby. Shelby Mustangs are worshipped and revered as some of the most potent around, ever since Carroll Shelby looked at the first-generation Mustang and decided to work his magic on it. Now, Shelby Mustangs roll out of the Ford factory itself, in tribute to the great man who sadly left us some years back. Today, we have a 2020 Ford Mustang GT350 for sale from Gilbert, Arizona with just 5,900 miles to its name. What’s even nicer is that it’s been tuned by Lund Racing and features a supercharger installed on to its 5.2-liter V8. This, the 6-speed manual transmission and many more things make this the ultimate performance Mustang for the discerning driving enthusiast.
