The maiden Ford Thunderbird was introduced as a competitor to the Chevy Corvette in 1955. However, it wasn’t marketed as a sports car but as an upscale, sporty, luxury car. It then continued to evolve into a larger car over ten generations until it was discontinued in 1997. However, after a five-year hiatus, the Thunderbird returned for one last time. This eleventh-generation Thunderbird went right back to its roots and was conceived as a two-door, two-seater, retro-themed convertible. Powered by a creamy smooth V8 motor, this last-gen Ford Thunderbird was produced only until 2005, thus marking the end of an iconic nameplate. This 2002 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe Soft Top Convertible we have here is a pristine example with 29,000 reported miles on the odometer. It is a fully stock, original-owner car with two keys, a new battery, and new tires.

Ford’s Bronco was the first Sport Utility Vehicle – that’s SUV to you and me – to be developed by Ford. When it was released in 1966, it became clear that the Blue Oval had knocked it out of the park on their first try.
