The best pieces of automotive craftsmanship are sometimes produced not through actions, but rather via competitive reactions. The 1953 Motorama display at the New York Auto Show sparked a fire at Ford, as they were forced to sit on the sidelines and watch Chevrolet roll out the Corvette. Ford punched back a year later, introducing the 1st generation T-bird. It was dubbed “a personal car of distinction.” The car marked the first step towards the evolution of personal luxury cars in the United States and sold a staggering 16,115 vehicles in 1955. This stunning 2-seater convertible is home to New York and still gleams with magnificence.
This 1955 Ford Thunderbird Convertible has been given a frame-off restoration, with every nut and bolt replaced during its rebuild. The car is now a beautiful gloss black, with a striking chrome front grille, distinctive chrome Thunderbird front bumper as well as chrome trim on its hood scoop. Smooth lines run across the side of the body to meet the rear fins. The back end sports a unique twin fin shape that hosts a set of circular tail lamps. Above the rear bumper sits a pair of chrome exhaust ports, giving it a Batmobile-like appearance. The look is completed with a set of whitewall tires embracing multi-spoke Ford hubcaps. Factory additions include a factory hard-top, which sits over a new soft-top roof to suit your mood. The interior restoration of this unit is truly remarkable. A black dashboard frames the stainless-steel dash panel, which still carries its original FM radio. This combination of black and silver complements the plush black and white leather seats and door panels perfectly and is finished off with a beautiful 2-spoke Ford Master Guide steering wheel. Some futuristic-for-the-time extras include power windows and a power seat.
The Thunderbird was bestowed with a fully rebuilt 292ci V8, Y-Block engine. This engine was nicknamed the ‘Thunderbird V-8’, which produced 193 bhp at 4,400 rpm and 380 Nm of torque at 2,600 rpm. This car also has a wholly rebuilt powertrain as well as a 3-speed manual transmission with override. It retains its originality by being wired authentically with a 6V positive ground. Other notable features include power steering and power brakes.
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?
