The 1957 Ford Thunderbird was an icon the moment it left its factory floors; it had iconic '50s styling that was jaw-dropping, the luxury that most '50s American motors are renowned for, and performance that was supposed to take on the first-generation Chevrolet Corvette. Present today is not just any first-generation Ford Thunderbird, but this sought-after 1957 Ford Thunderbird E-Code. Built to turn heads as you drive by, this 50s icon can be your weekend cruiser that's best enjoyed with its top-down and picturesque back road.
The black exterior on this 1957 Ford Thunderbird E-Code highlights the design work and is bound to turn heads as you drive by. The exterior of this '50s classic is in excellent shape, and that's thanks to a new paint job and refurbished chrome parts, as reported by the current owner; also reported is that the soft top and hard top are included in the sale. The sleek and smooth styling transitions into a set of wire wheels, which are reported to be new by the current owner and wrapped with fresh whitewall tires. The first-generation Ford Thunderbird sported one of the most iconic cabins of all time. It was the poster child of 1950s interior dashboard design and is perfectly showcased with this 1957 Ford Thunderbird E-Code and its white interior. The current owner reports that the interior has been reupholstered, and it looks like it just rolled off the factory floor in 1950. Every interior component is present and in excellent shape.
Pop open the hood of this 1957 Ford Thunderbird E-Code, and you will find a 312ci V8 motor that sports dual Holley four-barrel carburetors and other neat features to make it stand out. This high performance engine option is denoted by the ‘E’ Engine code in the Thunderbird family and gives you top of the line power output that rivaled the Corvette of its era. The current owner reports some refreshments in terms of performance to ensure more time behind the wheel; maintenance on this classic American cruiser includes a recent oil change for refined performance and a recent tune-up to ensure everything works as it should. In terms of power delivery, this '50s classic channels all its performance to its rear wheels through a Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission.

The Ford Thunderbird has had many forms. Despite being a sporty-looking two-door convertible or coupe, the T-Bird has always focused on luxury and comfort, being described as a “personal luxury car.” Having graduated from the two-seater layout to more of a 2+2 configuration in the late 50s, the third-generation Thunderbird had to bring something new to the table. And that it did, with one of the most recognizable shapes of the Thunderbird’s entire production run. The third-generation Ford Thunderbird also introduced many new innovative features. In addition to luxuries such as power steering and power brakes, the Thunderbird introduced a novel steering wheel that could be swung to the side to aid driver egress and ingress. Our featured 1963 Ford Thunderbird has reportedly undergone a full restoration. While the mileage since the engine rebuild is unknown, the chassis boasts an original 73,000 miles. This classic Ford provides the perfect opportunity to experience one of the most iconic cars of the ’60s.
The original Ford Thunderbird may have appeared around the same time as the Chevrolet Corvette, but each model had very different philosophies. While the Corvette tried to focus on sporting pedigree and performance, the Thunderbird appealed to the more traditional consumer—one who cared more about comfort, cruising, and exploring the blacktop. If that’s the kind of classic motoring experience you’re looking for, then look no further than our 1957 Ford Thunderbird. The original Ford Thunderbird is known for its good looks and luxurious features. Our featured car comes with a reported 63,500 miles on the odometer and a recently rebuilt transmission.

The original Ford Bronco is always a popular classic here at Exotic Car Trader, and for good reason. The Bronco combined good looks with amazing off-road performance and has developed a cult following. But we’d wager you haven’t seen a Bronco quite like this: Say hello to the 1970 Ford Classic Electric Bronco by Zero Labs. As the name implies, it’s what we like to call an “electromod.” That is, the original drivetrain has been swapped out for an all-electric one! This 1970 Ford Classic Electric Bronco features two electric motors—one for each axle—giving it four-wheel drive and a range of over 235 miles. To keep up with the upgraded drivetrain, the rest of the vehicle has been meticulously restored, with new parts installed and an upgraded interior while retaining the classic looks of the original car.
While Shelby’s hugely celebrated association with the Ford Mustang is known to everyone, what happens when the famed tuning company turns its attention to something a bit different? Predictably, it was a roaring success, not least because Shelby American focused on doing what it does best—making iconic Fords just that much more special. With the Ford F-150, Shelby went the extra mile with a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 that produces a mind-bending 770 hp. If that’s not impressive enough, wait until you delve into the performance specifics of this incredible machine.
If there’s one thing the classic Ford Bronco community is known for, it's their diverse aftermarket community. From concourse-level restorations to LS-swapped restomods, we’ve seen them all — and that includes several EV conversions, too. So it’s good to see the same custom spirit being kept alive with the modern reincarnation of the Ford Bronco nameplate. This 2023 Ford Bronco Big Bend 4x4 is the perfect example, having been extensively modified by the team at SoFlo Jeeps. SoFlo Jeeps’ extensive customization work features their signature Kevlar armor coating. You’ll also find upgrades to many exterior and interior areas, while this 5,300-mile-old Ford Bronco also sports a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine under the hood.
Italy has a rich and vibrant history of producing sports cars of all shapes and sizes. While you may more commonly think of a roaring Ferrari V12 or a Lamborghini V10, the country also gave birth to some truly amazing, affordable sports cars. Take the Fiat X1/9, for example. Despite featuring a relatively small 1,290cc engine, the little Fiat is a true sportscar focused on offering the best driver experience. It’s a strict two-seater with a mid-engine layout and a design that predated the Toyota MR-2 by several years. Today, the Fiat X1/9 has a cult following around the world, with fans smitten by the car’s baby-Ferrari style and experience. Our featured car is reportedly all-original and comes with original mileage of just 49,300 on the odometer — exceptional for a car of this vintage.
The Camaro platform was introduced in 1966 as a pony car to compete with Ford's wildly successful Mustang. It quickly rose to fame and became very desirable among both muscle car and sports car enthusiasts. The third-generation Camaro was introduced in 1982, and it modernized the platform heavily with innovations in all departments. The IROC-Z was a performance option that was exclusively available on the Z28 Camaro. It was born out of a racing series, making it a unique Camaro trim level with Corvette DNA. This is a well-preserved example of a 1986 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Coupe with just 4,820 miles.
Even though pickup trucks were far more utilitarian back in the ’50s, they still had a popular following. While they may not have offered the same blend of off-road ability and on-road comfort as today’s options, trucks like the 1959 Chevrolet Apache Pickup were known for their reliability and ruggedness. Originally known as the Chevrolet Task Force series of trucks, in 1958 the company changed the names of their lineup. The light-duty series, as is featured here, adopted the “Apache” moniker, along with a redesign of the front end. Our featured truck appears to be in excellent condition for a workhorse of its age. It has a 235ci I6 engine under the hood and a manual transmission.
