Ford’s Personal Luxury Car debuted in 1955, and was called the Thunderbird. By 1964, the fourth generation was ready to enter the market. Yes, model cycles in those days were very short. The fourth generation ran for just three years, but over 236,000 were made in that time. So, you can see how popular the T-Bird had become. Up for sale here is a 1966 Ford Thunderbird that’s perfect for someone who wants a classic T-Bird in their life. The car comes with all maintenance reportedly up to date and a rebuilt V8 purring away under the hood. Oh, and it’s also said to be 1 of just 75 cars that came with factory air conditioning!
Wearing a white suit, this 1966 Ford Thunderbird is a stunner thanks to its iconic design. The quad headlamps sitting in teardrop-shaped pods flank a broad chrome grille, while the car’s flowing lines continue all the way to the rear, The rear wheels are semi-faired in courtesy of wheel spats. Since this car is a convertible, it bears a blue, power-operated convertible top that’s easily deployed when required. You’ll also note the aftermarket mag wheels, which seem to really suit the car. Some may say that stock wheels are best, but it can be argued that the right set of aftermarket wheels can augment the look of a classic car without affecting its aesthetic. The interior of this 1966 Ford Thunderbird features Navy Blue leather and four seats. Initially conceived as a two-seater, Ford quickly realized that they could access a wider market segment if they gave the T-Bird a set of rear seats. This was done by 1958, for the second generation. The rear seats offer decent space for adults. Meanwhile, as we mentioned previously, this car reportedly comes with factory-fitted air conditioning. It’s also got power windows and an interesting gauge cluster. The only modern component visible is an aftermarket Alpine CD receiver that’s mounted on the passenger side of the dashboard.
The 428ci V8 that propels this 1966 Ford Thunderbird is paired with an automatic gearbox for effortless cruising, which is key to a personal luxury car’s value proposition. We’re also told that the engine was rebuilt, so you can look forward to a reliable driving experience.

The famous Ford T-Bird is a legend in classic American car circles. It was Ford’s groundbreaker at the time, and introduced a new category called Personal Luxury Cars. These were swish and speedy two-seaters with comfortable and luxurious interiors, potent V8 engines under the hood, and the ability to travel for hundreds of miles at a time with minimal disturbance or discomfort to their well-heeled occupants. They also came with decent cargo space, aimed at being driven from five-star hotel to five-star hotel, or from mansion to posh office and back home. However, by the second generation, Ford added a rear seat to broaden the car’s target market. Ten generations of T-Bird were made between 1955 and 1997, but in 2002, Ford revived the nameplate for a final hurrah. The eleventh generation was a homage to the very first, and returned to its two-seat roots. Today’s 2002 Ford Thunderbird hails from that retro-modern era, and is available in Pennsylvania having covered just 19,506 miles so far. The car is reportedly all original, right down to including the black removable hard top in addition to its black powered soft top.
Ford’s Thunderbird or T-Bird is most well known for creating the American segment of Personal Luxury Cars. Aimed at rivaling Europe’s Grand Tourers, the first generation of T-Bird was a stylish and powerful two-door, two-seat coupe or convertible, with a comfortable and lavishly-equipped passenger cabin plus a roomy trunk. It was meant as a car that would be owned by the wealthy and driven by them across great distances with nary an ache or pain at the end. Subsequent generations gained a rear seat too, since Ford realized that sticking to two seats was limiting their target market. Made for ten generations between 1955 and 1997, the T-Bird firmly entrenched itself in American automotive culture. In 2002, Ford, feeling a bit misty-eyed, decided to make a eleventh generation as a homage to the original. This eleventh generation was produced for just three years and saw over 68,000 units sold. Today, we’ve got one of those cars, a 2003 Ford Thunderbird for sale from Sterling, Alaska. It’s got super low mileage too, less than 8,000 in fact, making it an absolute steal and a fantastic addition to someone who wants a definitive future classic that can be driven and enjoyed from today onwards.
One of Ford’s most fondly remembered marques, the Thunderbird created what was called the Personal Luxury Car category when it launched for the 1955 model year. Ford was paying attention to the European segment of Grand Tourers, and wanted to give Americans a slice of that stylish and luxurious long-distance motoring experience. After all, America’s highways were being built and upgraded, and soon, the well-heeled would love to drive their own luxury car across the country, from posh hotel to posh hotel. So, the first-generation Thunderbird had a lot to live up to, and live up, it did. Coming in two-door, two-seat form, it of course had a V8 up front and the most luxury features that were prevalent at the time. Today’s 1956 Ford Thunderbird has been fully restored and boasts under 9,000 miles to its name. Furthermore, this Delaware-based car comes with the Continental Kit as well.
You can’t go amiss by choosing a first-generation Ford Mustang as your starter classic car. Ford’s signature model created the whole pony car arena, and over sixty years later, remains the sole survivor of the segment. The first generation Mustang was offered between 1964 (called 1964½ models) and 1973. Along the way, it offered various engines and came in some high-performance variants too. Buyers could choose three body styles, and many went for the stylish fastback or the slick convertible. But, the third choice, the two-door hardtop offered sleek and arguably unappreciated style that really made owning one a personal choice of distinction. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Ford Mustang Hardtop for sale in Goodyear, Arizona. With its host of upgrades, this is a classic car that’s suitable for daily driving if desired. Snap it up soon!

Between a road car and a race car is a Roush car. That is how Jack Roush, co-founder of Roush Racing, likes to describe their creations. And we wholeheartedly agree. For those who crave tremendous horsepower figures but still want a ride with good road manners, Roush created the perfect blend. If you know your Mustangs, you might’ve heard of a highly sought-after package dubbed the California Special. First introduced in 1968, these limited-edition Mustangs possess both the qualities of a Shelby GT and a Mustang coupe. This desirable special edition, coupled with a tasty Roush upgrade, is not something you’ll come across every day. That is why you shouldn’t miss your opportunity with this example of the 2017 Ford Mustang GT California Special boasting a Roush Supercharged upgrade. With 37,898 miles on its clock, it awaits in West Springfield, Virginia, for its lucky buyer.
