Ford created a segment called the ‘Personal Luxury Car’ in 1955, which was aimed at the luxury car seeker who wanted something more intimate than a typical luxury sedan. In fact, this was America’s interpretation of the continental Grand Tourer. Ford would go on to create another segment in 1964, the Pony Car with the Mustang but that’s a story for another day. Their contender for Personal Luxury Car was called the Thunderbird, and this model ran for ten generations between 1955 and 1997, with a retro-modern eleventh generation in 2002 that ran for three years. What we have on sale here is a 1962 Ford Thunderbird Convertible from the second generation that hails from Iowa with 50,000 reportedly original miles on the clock.
The third generation Thunderbird ran from 1961 to 1963 and featured a significant restyling over the second generation. This 1962 Ford Thunderbird Convertible proudly showcases all those features in its bright red paint job. It rolls on some lovely wire wheels with new white-wall tires. Those rear lamp clusters were designed to evoke memories of jet engines, remember that this was the jet-set era where manufacturers were trying to sneak aircraft design cues into road-going automobiles. The white convertible top is powered, and a new convertible top motor has been installed for added reliability. The two-tone interior is a red and white affair with seating for four occupants. Interior features for the third generation included the ‘floating’ rearview mirror and Swing-Away steering wheel whereby the steering wheel could be slid to the right-hand side with the transmission in Park, allowing easier entry and exit for the driver. This stunning example also features air conditioning that’s been converted to use the more common R134A refrigerant. There’s also a retro-modern style radio cassette that plays through Pioneer speakers.
Grand Tourers, or Personal Luxury Cars had to have a sizable engine that would offer effortless cruising with minimal fuss or straining. This is taken care of in this 1962 Ford Thunderbird Convertible by the 390ci (6.4L) Ford FE V8 engine that’s fed through a new Holley 4-barrel carburetor and has received a replacement fuel pump too. The output is reported to be 300hp, which is more than adequate for this car, and drive is to the rear wheels via a 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic MX automatic transmission, which has reportedly been rebuilt on this example. The car has also received new shock absorbers to restore its plush ride quality.

Think Thunderbird, and you’ll likely remember the original “Personal Luxury car” of the fifties or perhaps the revamped retro-inspired eleventh generation of the early 2000s. But the have been many Ford Thunderbirds in between, each one of them special and loved by dedicated fans across America. This 10th generation 1997 Ford Thunderbird LX features a reportedly low mileage of just 22,700 miles and looks to be in very good condition, both inside and out. This large front-engine, rear-wheel drive coupe is an excellent reminder of ’90s car culture and is reportedly all-original with up-to-date servicing for added reassurance.
The car that started it all, and gave Americans a taste of the fine Grand Touring style of motoring that Europeans had perfected. Ford’s T-Bird was billed as a Personal Luxury Car when it debuted in 1955, offering two seats, a brawny V8 under the hood, effortless long-distance cruiser capabilities, and the best luxuries in the cabin. Ten generations were made, with an eleventh homage-styled generation following them a few years later. Finding a T-Bird isn’t that hard, but you’d likely want a good one. Why not choose this 1962 Ford Thunderbird as your T-Bird of choice? Packing some useful upgrades, this car has done a little over 51,000 miles so far. So, it’s got plenty of life remaining, and will be glad to live it in your hands. Also, it’s a numbers-matching vehicle, a factor that ensures it will not only retain, but appreciate in value.
The eleventh generation of Ford’s Thunderbird was a retro-modern homage to the one that started the whole Personal Luxury Car craze in the United States. Made between 2002 and 2005, less than 70,000 were sold. That’s why finding one isn’t as easy as you might think. So, if you’ve been a Thunderbird fan, check out this 2004 Ford Thunderbird Convertible that’s up for grabs. The car comes with 30,500 miles on the clock, and since it’s a 2004 model, it’s got the more powerful engine that came from 2003 onwards.
The 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby Super Snake, unofficially called the GT500 Super Snake, is a Ford Mustang GT on steroids. Built on the Mustang’s then-new S550 chassis, the new model actually lost some power compared to its predecessor. However it more than made up for it with increased agility and handling. As many car enthusiasts have mentioned, this has been one of the most well-balanced Mustang Shelbys to ever hit the road. The increase of power is mainly achieved with a supercharger, but also thanks to a custom Borla exhaust. Not all the work was done under the hood — as expected the Super Snake received signature Shelby restyling that made it stand apart from a standard Mustang. With a mere 6,560 miles clocked on the odometer, this serialized car from Shelby American - 1SSS0017 is for sale in Richmond, Texas.
The car that started off the whole Pony Car craze, and the only one existing to this day, the Ford Mustang is a light that shines bright in American automotive history.

Add to it that many Mustangs saw magic at the hands of Carroll Shelby, you can understand why the 'Stang is a national treasure and why so many people lust after one. If you’re one of those people, and want a truly special Mustang, check out this rare 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Super Snake Convertible. This all-stock car is available with a mere 9,522 miles on the odometer, and a truly awe-inspiring powertrain.
