The years after World War II saw manufacturers of every sort lean towards the personal luxury segment. And this was the same for the automotive industry. It was a glorious era to live and experience many wonderful things, and vehicles were right there at the top. It was during this time that Ford introduced the iconic Ford Thunderbird, fondly known as the T-Bird. When introduced in 1955 it took the world by storm, its success ran on for more than four decades and eleven generations. This third-generation Ford T-Bird was manufactured in 1962 and is the vinyl roof Landau variant, the odometer reads 45,600 genuine miles and comes with a host of new parts.
Safe to say that any car looks good in black but when you do that for a classic car it just magnifies the appeal as is the case with this 1962 Ford Thunderbird Landau and its Raven Black paint job which was reportedly repainted. The front features a tapered design for the nose. Quad headlights flank the slim chrome-painted grille, while the hood is host to a hood scoop with chrome trim and the Thunderbird badge on the front edge. The black vinyl roof C-pillar features chrome simulated S-bars while the rear quarter panel is host to a trio of chrome faux vents. The rear jet-inspired taillights are housed in chrome bezels which flow seamlessly into the rear chrome bumper. On entry, you are greeted by the subtle Thunderbird logo on the door sills to the original black vinyl and chrome interior. Luxury is taken to the letter, with the interiors design and trim. A slim vintage steering wheel in black and chrome with the Thunderbird logo in the center takes the spotlight, behind it is the black-faced gauges and dials. While the dash chrome trim flows to the center console as well. The original radio is in place.
The ’60s were an era of excess, as such this 1962 Ford Thunderbird Landau features a 6.4L V8 coupled to the 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic MX automatic transmission. The seller reports it is a number-matching vehicle. A new fuel pump, and new fuel sensor, have reportedly been replaced, while a recent oil change was done on the vehicle. Ensuring a good grip while driving are reportedly new tires wrapped around the chrome vintage wheels.
In the ʼ00s, Ford decided to honor its timeless Thunderbird personal luxury car with a retro-modern eleventh generation. Produced for just three short years, this eleventh-generation T-Bird saw over 60,000 units made. Heavily inspired by the first generation from the 1950s, this new T-Bird sat on a modern platform, and used a V8 from Jaguar, of all places. Today, we’ve got a 2003 Ford Thunderbird for those who are intrigued by this pastiche of ʼ50s styling and ʼ00s mechanicals and creature comforts. The car has done only 8,312 miles, making it a real rare find, and a definitive future classic.
In 1955, the Ford Thunderbird entered the American luxury car market and shook it up. Aimed at bringing Americans a taste of the European Grand Touring experience, the Thunderbird was called the Personal Luxury Car. It was a powerful two-seater with a suitably spacious trunk and all the creature comforts of the day. Aimed at covering hundreds of miles with ease, the T-Bird quickly became a cult classic. Ford made ten generations until 1997, but they had a brief change of heart in 2002. Hence, a retro-modern eleventh generation was released, and made until 2005. Just 60,000 were sold, making this generation relatively rare in comparison with the early ones from the Fifties and Sixties. So, if you’ve wanted to try out one of these curios, check out this 4,475-mile 2002 Ford Thunderbird that’s for sale right now with us.
Ford’s Thunderbird is responsible for creating the Personal Luxury Car segment in the United States, a segment that the famous, wealthy and powerful flocked to like moths to a flame in the fifties through eighties. Personal Luxury Cars were modeled on Europe’s Grand Tourers, aimed at providing smooth, swift and serene transportation across great distances while offering all the luxury niceties and creature comforts that were cutting-edge at the time. Introduced in 1955, the first-gen Thunderbird would run for a mere three model years before the second generation came about. With a mere 53,166 made, it’s not so easy to find a great example these days. However, we at Exotic Car Trader have developed somewhat of a knack for finding and offering great examples of iconic cars. This 1957 Ford Thunderbird is no exception. We’re told that the car was fully restored around 15 years ago, which explains why it still looks in great order.
The Ford Bronco is one of the most prolific four-by-fours in the United States. Introduced in 1965, it’s widely considered to be a pioneer of the American Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) craze. Five generations were made until 1996 when Ford decided to put the Bronco out to pasture. Enthusiasts weren’t pleased, and hounded the Blue Oval for decades, literally. To finally get them off their backs, Ford debuted the all-new sixth-generation Bronco in 2021, and things have been great. The sixth-generation Bronco has won over fans of classic ones, as well as carved out a new audience of younger people who desire to venture into the wilderness so that they can TikTok and Instagram their escapades. Regardless of which camp you belong to, this 2024 Ford Bronco Hennessey Velociraptor 500 is definitely worth consideration. It’s a custom build by tuners Hennessey Performance, and bears less than 5,000 miles on the clock. You’ll also know how much horsepower it has merely by reading out its full title. Furthermore, it’s 1 of only 200 built with the Freedom Package.
Ford’s Mustang created a cult, started a trend, and spearheaded a segment. Thanks to Ford’s dynamic team, which included Lee Iacocca, Donald Frey, and Gale Helderman, the Mustang was meant to be a sporty but accessible car that could perform family duties as well. Hence, the pony car was born. Depending on which school of inspiration you believe, the Mustang is named after the legendary P-51 Mustang aircraft, as well as the American quarter horse of the same name. Nevertheless, owning a first-generation Mustang is a bucket list item for many, and we’ve got a lovingly restored 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback for sale today. The car’s full restoration concluded in 2023, and it has a stroked V8 engine that provides more power.
In a world of electric cars and small turbocharged engines, we find gems that go against the grain, like the Ford Mustang you see here. A thoroughbred sports car, the Mustang is the ultimate definition of excess. the newest generation S650 Mustang is a perfect blend of classic muscle and modern technology. Meanwhile, RTR (a.k.a Ready To Rock) is a sub-division owned and headed by formula drift champion Vaughn Gittin Jr. responsible for tuning and turning the already bonkers Mustang into a tire-burning absolute monster of a machine. This example we have on offer is a 2024 Mustang GT RTR Spec 2 with just 735 miles on the odometer.
