Whilst every other car manufacturer was trying to build the fastest, most powerful car, Ford created a new market segment, dubbed the “personal luxury car” in 1958. The car that debuted in that segment was the Ford Thunderbird, more affectionately called the T-Bird. The Thunderbird was produced for eleven generations, a testament to its popularity. Ten generations were produced between 1955 and 1997, and a retro-styled eleventh generation came onto the market between 2002 and 2005. It was essentially a luxury car among a sport-car heavy period. Our subject vehicle is a first-generation 1957 example in great condition following a full body-off restoration, with just 72,000 genuine miles.
An attractive Starmist blue exterior with a matching blue and white interior graces this T-Bird. It rides on a set of Thunderbird wheels with tires in excellent condition. After the body off restoration, it is reported that the vehicle is in 80% original condition, and the owner states “frame is just as clean as the body”. The newly installed convertible top has never been operated, and a hardtop is given in the sale. An aftermarket radio is in place, with the original available as well. The original steel wheels and hubcaps are given with the vehicle, as well as extra trim and chrome pieces.
This Thunderbird is powered by the highest-spec engine that was available for it at the time, a 312cu (5.1L) V8 that produced around 225hp, mated to a two-speed ‘Fordomatic’ automatic. Interestingly, the Fordomatic is actually a three-speed transmission, in which second and third are utilized during normal driving when the gear selector is in ‘D’, whilst first gear can be utilized by setting the selector to the ‘L’ position, although it will select the first gear if the throttle is floored from a standstill whilst in ‘D’. The engine and transmission underwent a rebuild during the restoration, ensuring longevity and reliability for the future.
The car that started it all, and gave Americans a taste of the fine Grand Touring style of motoring that Europeans had perfected. Ford’s T-Bird was billed as a Personal Luxury Car when it debuted in 1955, offering two seats, a brawny V8 under the hood, effortless long-distance cruiser capabilities, and the best luxuries in the cabin. Ten generations were made, with an eleventh homage-styled generation following them a few years later. Finding a T-Bird isn’t that hard, but you’d likely want a good one. Why not choose this 1962 Ford Thunderbird as your T-Bird of choice? Packing some useful upgrades, this car has done a little over 51,000 miles so far. So, it’s got plenty of life remaining, and will be glad to live it in your hands. Also, it’s a numbers-matching vehicle, a factor that ensures it will not only retain, but appreciate in value.
The eleventh generation of Ford’s Thunderbird was a retro-modern homage to the one that started the whole Personal Luxury Car craze in the United States. Made between 2002 and 2005, less than 70,000 were sold. That’s why finding one isn’t as easy as you might think. So, if you’ve been a Thunderbird fan, check out this 2004 Ford Thunderbird Convertible that’s up for grabs. The car comes with 30,500 miles on the clock, and since it’s a 2004 model, it’s got the more powerful engine that came from 2003 onwards.

Everytime you get behind the wheel of your vehicle, take a moment to thank Henry Ford and the Ford Model T. No, he didn’t invent the automobile, but his production principles are followed to this day. Thanks to Henry Ford and the Model T, we can buy well-built cars with ease, and enjoy them as we should. Over 15 million Model T examples were sold during a production run that spanned from 1908 all the way up to 1927. Furthermore, the Model T makes for a fantastic restomod, as you can create something truly distinctive with it. For a prime example of that statement, say hello to this 1923 Ford Model T Restomod, that comes with two keys and accurate mileage after its full restoration and custom build. Moreover, we’ve been told that all servicing is up to date.
In 1941, Ford fully updated its car over the 1937 Ford, which had run for four model cycles by then. However, World War II was in full swing, and the 1941 Ford saw a brief run until 1942, before being put on ice. After all, the War effort took priority over everything else. It was then resumed in 1946, until the 1949 Ford took over. Hence, this particular 1941 Ford Super Deluxe Convertible is an interesting vintage car, because it’s from the very first year of production, is the most upmarket Super Deluxe variant offered at the time, and it’s a convertible! Why not snap up this lovely restomod, with its newer engine and just 38,050 miles on the clock?
