Whilst the Grand Tourer rage was all over Europe in the Fifties, Ford decided to bring it over to North America. In doing so, they created the segment known as the Personal Luxury Car when they introduced the Thunderbird line-up in 1955. The Thunderbird was hugely successful, and was produced over ten generations from 1955 to 1997, and an eleventh generation briefly ran between 2002 and 2005. What we’ve got here is a 1968 Ford Thunderbird Coupe from the fifth generation of the nameplate. This Florida-based car has a healthy 106,754 miles under its wheels, but you wouldn’t be able to tell from the pictures, as it’s been very well looked after.
1967 saw the fifth-generation Thunderbird debut, with dramatically changed styling that some called radical at the time. It also pushed the size of the car further, making it larger in overall dimensions, and was even offered as a four-door pillared hardtop. This 1968 Ford Thunderbird Coupe is a two-door that wears a timeless white paint job and rolls on hubcapped wheels with new Nexen tires. Up front, it’s not hard to notice the hidden headlamps that were a head-turner in the day, and still make passers-by do a double take. The seller reports that this car has faced no accidents, and all seams and body panels are straight. The black interior offers accommodations for four occupants on plush leather seats, with a wood-trimmed dash and two-spoke steering wheel. This car is also equipped with air conditioning, which the seller reports, has received a new compressor and hoses. The interior looks to be mostly in pristine condition, save for a few minor imperfections that can easily be rectified.
The fifth-generation Thunderbird came with a choice of three engines during its four-year production run, and this 1968 Ford Thunderbird Coupe enjoys the largest of them all, the 429ci (7.0L) V8. This engine was rated at 360hp, but many claim this was a conservative figure. With this engine, the Thunderbird was quite quick off the line, despite its larger dimensions and porkier weight as a result. Drive is sent to the rear wheels via a 3-speed Ford Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission. The seller reports that this car has received a front end alignment, new master cylinder, new brake booster and new belts.

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.
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.
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.

The famous Ford F-Series was born in 1948, as America was emerging into a post-war world of promise and prosperity. Now in the fourteenth generation, the F-Series has got to be the world’s longest-running truck series, if not one of the longest. Today, the F-150 is the most popular variant as the half-tonner, but if we look at the first generation, the range simply started with the F-1 as the half-ton variant. That’s what we have here, a 1950 Ford F-1 Restomod from Groveport, Ohio. It’s received a thorough makeover with a 350ci V8 under the hood, an automatic gearbox, a converted 12-volt electrical system and more. If you want to own a classic Ford truck that you can actually enjoy driving, this 78,000-mile machine is your best option.
If you want a classic pony car that’s plentiful, easy to maintain and cuts a fine dash wherever you take it, choose a first-generation Ford Mustang. Produced between 1964 and 1973, a couple of million were made, basically. Three body styles were available, and did you know that the famous fastback was officially called the SportsRoof? Yes, that’s what we have for sale today, a rather unique 1969 Ford Mustang Restomod for sale from Royse City, Texas. It’s got a 5.2-liter Coyote Aluminator V8 under the hood, hooked up to a five-speed Tremec box and a Currie rear end. Yes, this pony has received a significant shot in the arm, or several. With just 155 miles since its makeover, it’s now ready for a new owner.
