Ford's Thunderbird nameplate would run from 1954 to 1997 across ten generations. It defined what the Personal Luxury Car would be to Americans, akin to Europe's Grand Tourers. In 2002, Ford decided to do a retro-modern homage to the original, and the eleventh generation was born, with a short production run of just three years. Just 68,000 were sold, which was considered lackluster at the time. However, that also makes this 2003 Ford Thunderbird Convertible a desirable future classic, and the 40,900-mile odometer reading only increases its allure.
Pastel shades were the order of the day in the Fifties and Sixties, and this 2003 Ford Thunderbird Convertible does a nice homage to that era with its Robin's Egg Blue paint job. Granted, the seven-spoke alloy wheels are not vintage but add a retro-modern vibe to the car, and they reportedly wear new tires. Ditto the circular head and tail lamp clusters which are retro-styled but feature modern lighting technology. A black convertible top is present to keep you protected from the elements when required. While Ford's first generation Thunderbird was a strict four-seater, subsequent generations added a rear seat. This 2003 Ford Thunderbird Convertible takes it back to its roots, as you'll only find heated and leather-trimmed seating for two in the original black interior. The steering wheel features media and cruise control buttons, and the instrument cluster has a sort of retro-modern vibe to it as well. As you'd expect on a luxury product, dual-zone climate control, power windows, power mirrors, power door locks, an in-dash 6-CD changer, and Audiophile premium sound system are on offer. The seller also reports a large storage space is present.
With underpinnings from Ford that were shared with Jaguar at the time, this 2003 Ford Thunderbird Convertible is related to the Jaguar S-Type and uses the 3.9L Jaguar AJ35 V8 with variable valve timing and electronic throttle control. Delivering 280hp of power and 286lb-ft of torque, drive goes to the rear wheels through a Ford Bordeaux five-speed automatic transmission. The seller reports new spark plugs and new brakes have been fitted to this car.

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.
With a name like Thunderbird, it’s hard to not get your pulse racing with anticipation. But hang on, Ford’s Thunderbird isn’t a screaming race machine. On the contrary, it’s America’s take on the Grand Tourers of Europe, and called a Personal Luxury Car. Introduced in 1955, the first generation Thunderbird was a strict two-seater and aimed to offer a value proposition of no-compromise comfort cruising across long distances. It’s a majestic thing, and you’ll see why as soon as you cast eyes on this first-generation 1956 Ford Thunderbird from Fairview, Texas.

What’s this? A crossover with electric power bearing the holy Mustang name upon its valance? Yes, Ford did something rather daring a few years back. They released the Ford Mustang Mach-E in 2021, which is on sale to date. Some may argue that it dilutes the Mustang’s hallowed reputation, but was well-received.

Can you imagine a hot rod being produced by a mainstream automaker, as a factory offering, and in 1997? Well, that’s what Chrysler did with the Prowler. In a rare show of creativity, Chrysler gave its engineers free reign to create a 1930s-inspired hot rod for the modern era. Just 11,702 units were made over a five-year production run, making the Prowler quite rare indeed. Today, we’ve got a 1999 Plymouth Prowler from Missouri for sale. This car has just 12,345 miles on the clock, and you can make it your own if you wish. The Prowler’s interesting design and limited production numbers mean that it’s definitely a future classic, so you’d best skip the rush that will come in the future, and get your hands on this one ASAP.
