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.

The Ford Thunderbird was made between 1955 and 1997 across ten generations, and redefined the Personal Luxury Car for Americans. In fact, it created the segment, largely inspired by the Grand Tourers of Europe. So, in the 2000s, Ford was feeling a little misty eyed and decided to create a rose-tinted eleventh generation homage to this iconic nameplate. Enter the retro-modern Thunderbird that was made between 2002 and 2005. Styled by Jack Telnack, the car sat on the Ford DEW98 platform, used an engine from Jaguar (who Ford owned at the time), and marked a return to roots of sorts, in that it was a two-seater, just like the first generation. Over 68,000 examples were made, and we have one for sale. Say hello to this original owner, all-stock 2002 Ford Thunderbird from South Jordan, Utah, that’s got just 13,085 miles on the clock.
Ford’s segment creator, the Thunderbird brought us the Personal Luxury Car in 1955. Ten generations of T-Bird were made until 1997, and an eleventh was sold from 2002 to 2005. Even today, the Thunderbird evokes strong recognition and remains a desirable classic car for many, especially those whose parents or grandparents owned a T-Bird back then. If you’re one of those people, we have this second-generation 1959 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe for sale in our inventory. Coming from Woodbine, Georgia, this 98,461-mile car packs a 352 under the hood, a two-tone interior and an automatic gearbox too. Call us if you’d like to own it.
The 1956 Ford Thunderbird represents one of the most iconic American personal luxury cars of the 1950s, melding graceful styling with V8 power in a two-seat roadster format. This example presents beautifully in red with a matching red interior, exuding 1950s glamour and Americana. Under the hood, it retains its factory-correct 292ci V8 with the signature Thunderbird script valve covers and a Holley “Teapot” 4-barrel carburetor, delivering a smooth, refined driving experience through a Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission. This car is a rolling tribute to an era when design and simplicity defined American excellence.
The 1969 Ford Torino Cobra stands as one of Ford’s most purpose-built muscle cars, developed with a clear focus on high-speed performance and NASCAR homologation rather than pure styling flair. This example is a genuine factory Cobra, confirmed by VIN and data plate, and powered by Ford’s legendary 428 Cobra Jet V8. Finished in Presidential Blue over a black interior, the car presents an authentic, no-nonsense performance specification that reflects Ford’s competition-driven mindset at the end of the 1960s. Importantly, this Torino is accompanied by a Marti Report, providing documented verification of its factory configuration, drivetrain, and special performance designation.
A Thirties Ford is a fine car to build a hot rod on, because its so outrageous in 2025! Almost all the folks living today will likely never have been around when these cars came from the Ford Factory in brand-new condition, and their only view of them will likely have been from grainy, old-timey photos, or in cartoons. The latter is from where this particular 1933 Ford 3-Window Coupe Hot Rod seems to have popped from, but let us assure you, it’s real. Currently up for sale in Spring, Texas, it’s got a supercharged small-block under the hood that’s reportedly been dynoed at nearly 700 horsepower! That, its custom interior, suicide doors, Hoosier Pro Street racing rear tires and overall outlook mean that it’s a definite conversation starter, head turner, you name it. If you’d like to acquire this quirky machine, we’re glad to assist.
Falcon is one of Ford’s best-known nameplates, because its been used for cars in North America, Australia and Argentina. Today’s 1964 Ford Falcon Sprint Convertible comes from the North American line-up and is a second-generation example. With a healthy 119,104 miles on the clock, this fine Ford hails from Chula Vista, California and is a nice, sunny drop-top too. It’s got a 289 paired with a four-speeder, and some fetching aftermarket wheels as well. And that’s before we get to its rather nautical color! In short, this is the perfect first classic for someone looking to try out the American cars of the Sixties, but if you need more convincing before calling us, read on.
