The Ford Thunderbird was created in 1955 as Ford’s ‘personal luxury car’ in response to the rising tide of performance-oriented models. Ford wanted to create something with a focus on driving comfort and with convenience features. Initially penned as a two-seater, the 1958-onwards model introduced a rear seat, and it can be considered America’s interpretation of a ‘Grand Tourer’. In fact, the Thunderbird was so well received that between 1968 and 1998, Ford’s sister brand Lincoln marketed rebadged Thunderbirds as various models in its lineup. This 1966 Ford Thunderbird Town Coupe available for sale is a fourth-generation Thunderbird. The fourth generation ran between 1964 and 1966 and saw a restyle towards a more squared-off design ethos. Two hundred thirty-six thousand examples of the fourth generation were produced over its three-year span. Offered as a hardtop or convertible, this example is a hardtop known as the Town Coupe variant. The car comes from Illinois, is reported to be a numbers-matching car and has seen 52,975 miles so far. It is also said to be an all-original survivor by the current owner, who is stated to have inherited the car.
This 1966 Ford Thunderbird Town Coupe is reported to have been repainted at some point in its life. The exterior is a shade of maroon that, in some lighting, tinges towards coppery, lending it an alluring shade. The car rolls on period-correct rims and Thunderbird-etched hubcaps, wrapped in Dunlop tires with white stripes. It is also reported to be undercoated. The interior is an all-black affair with leather seating for four adults, a thin-rimmed steering wheel with Thunderbird boss and a full array of gauges. Factory-fitted air conditioning is also present, as is a push-button radio and chrome interior trim.
Fourth-generation Thunderbirds came with a choice of three V8 engines, ranging from 390ci to 428ci. This 1966 example is equipped with the 390ci (6.4L) V8 that drives the rear wheels through a Ford C6 three-speed automatic transmission. Originally putting out 300bhp, the output gained an increase to 315bhp for 1966. The Thunderbird is a comfort cruiser, which is reflected in its soft suspension set-up. Braking is via discs at the front and drums at the rear.

With a name like Thunderbird, you’d expect the automobile in question to be quite spectacular, and Ford didn’t disappoint. Conceived in the ʼ50s and debuting for the 1955 model year, the Thunderbird was modeled on the Grand Tourer segment of Europe, and called the Personal Luxury Car in the USA. In fact, one could argue that Ford created this segment with the introduction of the two-seat, plushly-appointed, V8-powered Thunderbird. While the first generation sold in healthy numbers, Ford executives knew that the car had more potential. So, when the second generation came in 1968, it sported a rear seat. This was to make the Thunderbird appealing to well-heeled families, performing a role as their primary family hauler while retaining its sporty and luxurious long-distance cruising abilities. Today’s 1964 Ford Thunderbird comes from the fourth generation of this iconic American nameplate, and has just over 200,000 miles showing. The car has undergone some work, and all receipts are said to be available.
There comes a time when the automotive world stands still as manufacturers churn out a car that takes the world by storm and changes the automotive landscape forever.

Present today is this lovely 1956 Ford Thunderbird. This ’50s American automotive icon has a reported 13,000 miles on the clock and looks factory fresh and ready for its new custodian.

Widely considered as one of the first proper American Sport Utility Vehicles, the Ford Bronco came in 1966, and ran for five generations until 1996. Ford then decided to withdraw the nameplate, amidst some grumbling from the public. However, they had a change of heart two and a half decades later, and a sixth generation Bronco debuted in 2021, to much cheering and applause. The all-new sixth generation Bronco retains many signature features of the original, including removable doors and roof. Plus, it’s got some decent performance. But for those who crave more than decent, we’ve got a custom build by Hennessey Performance right here. This 2024 Ford Bronco Hennessey Velociraptor 500 is just one of 200 built with the Freedom Series Package, includes a serial numbered engine plaque, and has 500 horses on tap.

Ford’s Model T was such a runaway hit that they had to really knock it out of the park with a successor. Cue up 1927’s Ford Model A, of which over 4.8 million were sold by 1932. The Model A brought about many improvements, including a 3-speed gearbox, a top speed of over 65mph which was positively dizzying in those days, and the traditional layout of clutch, brake, accelerator pedals from left to right. Very few will know that a Model T also had three pedals but with totally different arrangements. Finding a Model A in pristine order is still tough, but we’ve got an appealing 1929 Ford Model A Roadster for sale today. Coming from Natick, Massachusetts, this car boasts 90,000 miles and looks in great condition for something that’s just four years shy of its Centurion birthday.
