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.

The Ford Thunderbird was America's first personal luxury car. Inspired by the Grand Tourers of Europe, the personal luxury car was meant to be a two-seat coupe or convertible with a large V8 engine, ample luggage space, and the best luxury refinements of the era. As time passed by, the segment (including the Thunderbird) would gain a rear seat to appeal to a wider segment of buyers. Ten generations of Thunderbird were made between 1955 and 1997. In 2002, Ford debuted an eleventh generation as a homage to the original. Living for just four model years, less than 70,000 were produced. Widely regarded as a curio, these cars are becoming desirable today. So, you'd best snap up this 2004 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe Convertible before it becomes hot property - and that time is near, friends. This car has under 48,000 miles on it, and has received some maintenance as well.

Europe was enjoying plenty of long-distance motoring with a class of automobile known as the Grand Tourer. By the Fifties, Ford decided that it was time America enjoyed the same luxury, given the country's vast expanses of space and burgeoning highway network. Hence, the arrival of the Personal Luxury Car, spearheaded by Ford's Thunderbird. The Thunderbird debuted for the 1955 model year and would continue for ten generations, up to 1997. A short-lived eleventh generation also made an appearance for the 2002-2005 period. However, the best T-Birds are considered to be the classics, such as this fourth-generation 1964 Ford Thunderbird, up for sale with us. If you want to experience the quintessential Personal Luxury Car experience, buy this car and take it on a cross-country trip. It's more than up to the task.
Ford's Bronco is an icon of American off-roading. Introduced for the 1966 model year, it is widely considered to be one of the pioneers of the SUV class. Five generations were made over a thirty-year period until Ford decided to take a break in 1996. What a break it was, and it had fans fuming. Would the Bronco come back? Well, it did, twenty-five years later, for the 2021 model year, when the all-new sixth generation debuted. Jaws dropped, and the waiting lists grew as long as the horizon. That's why if you want a modern Bronco, this 2022 Ford Bronco Big Bend is a superb option. With just 1,250 miles on the clock, this iconic off-roader has received some tasty goodies, too.
Ford is an American vehicle manufacturer that is responsible for creating the pony car category.
