Before the muscle and performance of the 60s, things were slow and calm in the world of American motors, land yachts with luxury and class graced the scene, and while they were a sight to behold, they never really had any performance to shock and awe. The 50s legend we have today looks like this 1958 Ford Fairlane Coupe; it's not another luxury land yacht and sports a surprise underneath its hood, making it a comfortable cruiser that stings.
If you ever wanted a car whose design perfectly captures what was great with 50s Americana design, look no further as this 1958 Ford Fairlane Coupe with its white exterior is a true icon of a time ago. The exterior is clean and sports all its exterior components, like its chrome trim and those iconic 50s fins at the rear. Moving away from the land yacht design and things are taken up a notch with the Weld racing wheels that are reportedly wrapped with fresh tires. Once you are behind this 1958 Ford Fairlane Coupe wheel and amongst the two-tone black and white interior, you know you are in an American motor from the 50s. The current owner reports that the interior has been reupholstered and also features a painted dashboard that is home to a JVC sound system. Among the freshening up, one would also note the presence of gauges; this all starts to make sense the moment you decide to get on the gas and see the performance this car has in store.
No matter which angle you choose to admire this 1958 Ford Fairlane Coupe from, one thing is for certain, it's an American car from the 50s, and it has the size and opulence to prove it. One might wonder what lies underneath to power a car this extravagant, pop the hood of this American classic, and what you will find is a mighty 428ci V8 motor present. The performance motor reportedly sees a recent oil change to run smoothly and efficiently and sees features like the Cobra valve covers boosting its performance feel. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through an automatic transmission and a Hurst gear shifter for a better drive feel.
Named after Henry Ford's sprawling Dearborn estate, the Fairlane started life as Ford's full-size automobile in 1955. The Fairlane was well-received and available in several body styles, including two- and four-door sedans, hardtops, station wagons, convertibles, and even a coupe utility for the Australian market. Today, well-kept first-generation examples such as this 1955 Ford Fairland 2-Door Club Sedan are sought after by discerning collectors. This particular car reportedly received a repaint approximately 15 years ago. The current owner also discloses that it comes with a numbers-matching motor and transmission but lacks documentation to prove it. Never mind, the condition and sheer classic value of this car more than compensate. Let's see what it offers.
Driving a 50s American classic is an experience; the roar of that all-American V8 and iconic styling is one to adore and experience, the 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Hardtop we have today ensures your behind the wheel of a true American classic and enjoy time passing by.

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.
While the '60s was the golden year of muscle cars, the '70s also saw some iconic muscle motors being produced. Present here is a thoroughbred '70s muscle car in the form of this 1974 Chevrolet Malibu Classic.

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.
From the ’30s to the ’50s, MG was undoubtedly excelled in the sports car arena. Their simple yet engaging T-Type models offered motorsports-winning pedigree to a broad audience and were distinct in their style. The MG TD was the fourth iteration of the T-Type chassis, which started with the TD. While the car’s lineage was still unmistakable, the Midget adopted a more sophisticated approach to the drivetrain. This includes the hypoid-geared rear axle of the MG Y-Type and independent front suspension. Our featured car is a 1952 MG TD Roadster Replica, which has been painstakingly recreated to offer an idea of what the original car would have looked like. Being a relatively modern reincarnation, this replica has reportedly run just 20,000 miles.
