Ford is a trailblazer across the automotive industry for many reasons. For starters, they've been segment creators more than once. Many folks know that Ford invented the Pony Car category with 1964's Mustang. But did you know that they first did it in 1955 with the Personal Luxury Car? Closely mirroring the Grand Tourers of Europe, the Thunderbird would be produced from 1955 to 1997 across ten generations. After a five-year hiatus, the eleventh and final generation was produced between 2002 and 2005. Up for grabs, today is a very special eleventh-generation T-Bird. Say hello to this 2005 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe 50th Anniversary Edition. A one-owner car, it has 43,000 miles in its name so far, and we're told that all maintenance has been done at Ford itself. If you want it, act fast, as such opportunities seldom present themselves on a platter like this.
Draped in a cool Steel Blue exterior, this 2005 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe 50th Anniversary Edition sports a contrasting tan convertible top, plus the original body-colored hardtop. Thus, you can have a coupe and a convertible in one car, changeable as per your mood. Boasting a retro-styled design with vintage Thunderbird badges, the eleventh generation also brings modern amenities such as crystal lamps and alloy wheels to the party. The hardtop even sports a circular porthole that harks back to the Fifties T-Birds, as well as other classic luxury cars of the time. Inside, you'll find a comfortable two-seat interior with tan leather, steel gray inserts, and a black dash. The instrument cluster features a retro-modern script, but the cabin amenities are all modern. You can expect dual-zone climate control, a radio with a 6-disc CD changer, a multifunction steering wheel, power windows, power mirrors, power door locks, and cruise control. Furthermore, the seats offer heating and ventilation, and the tan convertible soft top is power-operated too.
Packing a V8 beneath its hood, this 2005 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe 50th Anniversary Edition lives up to the original's persona. You'd be surprised to find out that the 3.9L unit is actually from Jaguar. Nevertheless, it develops 280hp and 286lb-ft, thrusting it all to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic gearbox.
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. This 24,715-mile machine is fresh from a recent tune-up and sports a rebuilt engine and gearbox for longevity. Let us tell you why you should buy it without a second thought.

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. In fact, it went on to win North American Car of the Year in 2021 itself! If you’re intrigued, here’s a sub 30k-mile 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT from San Diego, California for sale.

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.
