The right classic car, coupled with lovely weather, is nothing short of driving nirvana. As you drive by, realizing that what surrounds you has been serving its function for the past 50+ years is a sight to behold. The 1956 Ford Thunderbird we have today perfectly represents the 50s. It is a working example that blends the essence of driving, artistic design, and that warm feeling of history working in symphony. With a reported 16,905 miles on the clock, this original example comes included with its original invoice and shop manuals as an added treat to a treat in itself.
With American cars from the 50s and their designs being on hyperdrive, standing out from all the iconic cars available on dealer floors was a tough ask. The Ford Thunderbird defined 50s automotive design and is brought to life with this car dressed up in black and sporting a white convertible top. Step back and look at this car in person; everything is in check, from the gleaming paint to all the cars chrome in place; this is due to the current owner reporting a body-off restoration. In terms of shoes, this American classic sits on its factory hubcaps wrapped with whitewall tires; taking this car's wheel game up a notch is a continental kit at the rear of the car. The two-tone black and white interior of this 1956 Ford Thunderbird is a fine blend of comfort and function. Once you are in and comfy with the bench seats, you are treated to a factory interior that blends in nickel and leather. Furthermore, would you like to compliment a smooth ride with some tunes? The AM push-button radio comes in handy.
While it hails from the decade of land yachts and cruising, the first-generation Ford Thunderbird was performance oriented with a lightweight body and a V8 motor. It's hard to get past the 50s styling on this 1956 Ford Thunderbird, but once you do, the 312ci V8 motor makes itself known. A quick look around the engine bay and features like the Ford Thunderbird valve covers provide a touch of originality. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through an automatic transmission.
Ford’s Thunderbird is responsible for creating the Personal Luxury Car segment in the United States, a segment that the famous, wealthy and powerful flocked to like moths to a flame in the fifties through eighties. Personal Luxury Cars were modeled on Europe’s Grand Tourers, aimed at providing smooth, swift and serene transportation across great distances while offering all the luxury niceties and creature comforts that were cutting-edge at the time. Introduced in 1955, the first-gen Thunderbird would run for a mere three model years before the second generation came about. With a mere 53,166 made, it’s not so easy to find a great example these days. However, we at Exotic Car Trader have developed somewhat of a knack for finding and offering great examples of iconic cars. This 1957 Ford Thunderbird is no exception. We’re told that the car was fully restored around 15 years ago, which explains why it still looks in great order.
Think Thunderbird, and you’ll likely remember the original “Personal Luxury car” of the fifties or perhaps the revamped retro-inspired eleventh generation of the early 2000s. But the have been many Ford Thunderbirds in between, each one of them special and loved by dedicated fans across America. This 10th generation 1997 Ford Thunderbird LX features a reportedly low mileage of just 22,700 miles and looks to be in very good condition, both inside and out. This large front-engine, rear-wheel drive coupe is an excellent reminder of ’90s car culture and is reportedly all-original with up-to-date servicing for added reassurance.
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.
Ford’s longest-running series to date, the F-Series entered production in 1948, and revolutionized small businesses across America. Here was a sturdy, capable and reliable pickup truck that came in capacities of ½ ton upwards. It offered a great way to transport your goods to market, bring back raw materials, and carry your family as well. Now we’re on the fourteenth generation of the F-Series, and there have been many greats along the way. This 2008 Ford F-150 Harley Davidson comes from the eleventh generation and is the result of a collaboration between Ford and Harley Davidson. This special edition was offered for the tenth generation as well. Furthermore, this truck comes with the Saleen supercharger package, making it one heck of a ride to own and drive.
Jack Roush found his niche as an engine development engineer at the Ford Motor Company. A few years later, his entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish his own company called Roush Performance Engineering. With the experience he gained, he and his talented team developed state-of-the-art muscle cars that combine world-class handling with Detroit-born grunt. Not long after, his efforts sparked an overwhelming demand for his engines and components. What we have here is a 2017 Ford Mustang GT Roush Stage 3, a solid example of what Roush is capable of. According to them, you can experience raw power and meticulous handling and braking capabilities with this car. It is located in Franklin, Massachusetts with just 23,014 miles on its clock.
Ford’s third generation Mustang was introduced in 1979, and quickly became known as the Fox Body, due to it sitting on Ford’s Fox platform. Designed by Jack Telnack, the third generation came as a coupe, convertible and hatchback. Thankfully, it retained the rear-wheel drive layout, despite Ford considering making it front-wheel drive during its early development days. While the Fox Body wasn’t immediately a hit, it’s considered a nice modern classic ʼStang these days. If you’re a Fox Body fan or eager to see what the Fox is like, here’s a nice 1985 Ford Mustang GT for sale. The car has seen plenty of work to make it better than factory, and comes with just 2,000 miles on the clock after a comprehensive overhaul that includes its interior, exterior, and mechanical bits.
Triumph was a well-known British sports car maker for decades. The cars were made by the Standard Motor Company of Coventry, and they offered enthusiastic buyers the typical British roadster experience of the wind in your hair and a pert little sports car to hustle around country roads. Naturally, Americans would get to experience these cars too, as evidenced by this 1962 Triumph TR3A that’s for sale right now. The car reportedly underwent a frame-off restoration in 2015, making it nice and fresh for its new owner to enjoy.
It is often said that life was better in the ʼ80s. Music, clothes, and of course, cars. This 1989 Mercedes 560SL is a car that could take you through time. Kept in pristine condition, this car is ready to stretch its legs having covered a reported 53,208 miles in its 36-year life. With the name having been around for 70 years, it's safe to assume that Mercedes knows what they’re doing.
As the latest vehicles give you the utmost convenience and performance that you can imagine, classic cars continue to fill our hearts with nostalgia and a driving experience to remember. This 1965 Buick Special is one such example that takes you back to the ʼ60s when roads were filled with art on wheels. When it comes to vintage cars like this, it is difficult to find an example that is untouched. One of the main highlights of this Buick is that according to its current owner, it is all original. With memories worth 105,000 miles, this classic is now residing in Albany, New York. There is no doubt that this beauty will be a perfect Sunday cruiser and an attention grabber at classic car events.
