A segment creator of the Fifties, the Ford Thunderbird allowed Americans to taste what Europe's Grand Tourers were like. Two-door sports cars with enough space for touring luggage. It's no surprise, then, that eleven generations of the fondly-nicknamed T-Bird were produced. This included a special 50th Anniversary variant for the 2005 model year when the T-Bird bid adieu to the world. This 1956 Ford Thunderbird is an excellent way to experience the T-Bird lifestyle. This first-generation car boasts 87,000 miles on the clock, as well as a recent oil change and tune-up to keep it purring along. Bear in mind that only 15,631 units were produced in 1956, so you're joining a pretty exclusive club.
Painted in Thunderbird Green, this 1956 Ford Thunderbird is reminiscent of the bright pastel colors that the Fifties brought upon the automotive world. After all, the world had cast off the dark shades of the war and was moving into brighter and more promising territory. The current owner also tells us that the car wears its original wheels, wrapped with new tires. We also spot a contrasting tan convertible top that grants occupants a fabulous vista of the sky when desired, coupled with adequate weather protection when required. Inside, this 1956 Ford Thunderbird offers seating for two occupants on a brown and white leather bench seat, with the overall interior theme encompassing brown and body color. You've got the original set of Art Deco-inspired gauges, including the large central speedometer and smaller tachometer, plus auxiliary gauges. There's an original-style radio player installed in the dash adjacent to the heater controls. That's it, really. There's nothing else to distract you and your passenger from enjoying the drive.
This 1956 Ford Thunderbird features the optional "M" Code 292ci Y-block V8 that was introduced for the 1956 model year. A three-speed manual transmission with overdrive is present on this particular car, allowing you to enjoy a truly old-school, engaging driving experience. In its heyday, the Thunderbird was considered to be a car capable of exceeding 100mph, so you can expect sprightly performance from it when pushed. However, we'd recommend a more cruiser-esque driving style rather than trying to light up the rear tires, given the age and classic value of the car.
The '50s was surely iconic. The cars, the music and the vibes were ones never to be relieved. Looking to experience or relive the magical time? Present today is this 1957 Ford Thunderbird. It's a '50s classic that ensures an original driving experience and looks that make you turn back as you park.
Ford’s T-Bird brought Americans a slice of the European Grand Tourer lifestyle. These luxury cars were initially two seaters with powerful engines and the best luxury and technological features of their time. They were designed to be owned and driven by the wealthy, and capable of crossing the country while imparting the least fatigue upon their occupants. If you’ve always had a soft spot for a T-Bird, this first-generation 1957 Ford Thunderbird is a fine catch. Coming to you with under 35,000 miles on the clock, we’re told that this car is just 1 of 68 produced in the beautiful color that you see in these photos. That fact, plus its original mileage and up-to-date servicing make it a fine classic car that’s a shrewd investment too.
The first-generation Thunderbird was introduced in 1954 as Ford’s answer to the Chevy Corvette that came out the year before. To call it a direct competitor of the Vette would, however, be inaccurate. While the Corvette was a small and lightweight 2-seater with a fiberglass body (to compete with European sports cars), the T-Bird was more of a 2-seater personal luxury car for a younger demographic of buyers (being smaller and lighter than most Detroit products at the time). In fact, in its first production year, it outsold the Corvette by a massive margin. In total, over 53,000 first-generation Thunderbirds were made in 3 years of production, with 1957 being the most successful year.
Ford’s Mustang has always been a playful sort of car, targeted at those who want to have fun. After all, it’s what created the whole pony car segment. But what if a Mustang could truly be hotted up? This is what epic racer, tuner and red-blooded American Carroll Shelby pondered. Well, the man was known for putting his thoughts into actions and the rest, as they say, is history. Even today, Ford offers a Shelby variant of its Mustang. Shelby Mustangs are known for being drag strip demons or ferocious track tools. If you want a relatively modern Shelby Mustang but aren’t willing to wait in queues, we’ve got this 2022 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 locked and loaded for you to buy right now. With a mere 1,196 miles on the odometer, it’s basically a brand-new car.
