Post-war America was a nice time to be a car enthusiast, the utilitarian days were over, and it was time for luxury and class for the masses. Amongst all the shiny factory floors and luxury land yachts, one car stands out and is popular amongst automotive enthusiasts today. The Ford Thunderbird was an icon of the 50s, and it's time you explored it in detail and drove off in this lovely 1957 Ford Thunderbird. With a reported 75,000 miles on the clock, this low-mile American classic is looking for a new custodian.
While it was built to be a personal luxury car, the Ford Thunderbird was supposed to go head-on with the first generation of the legendary Chevrolet Corvette; this led the Thunderbird to sport a design that evoked luxury and a touch of performance to keep up with the times. Complimenting that iconic first-generation design on this 1957 Ford Thunderbird is a Colonial white exterior that hugs onto the curves of the car and helps highlight the car's chrome components in place. To match the iconic exterior, the current owner reports a Colonial white hardtop in place; you can swap the hardtop off for a soft black top. In terms of stance, this 50s beauty sits on a set of Kelsey Hays wire wheels that are wrapped with white wall tires for added effect. The original exterior gives way to a two-tone Raven black and white interior on this 1957 Ford Thunderbird. The leather seats are a lovely place to be in and give you a lovely view of all the car's interior components, like the factory steering wheel and nickel trim, which are in great shape and in place.
Complimenting those smooth 50s design is a V8 motor that only emits a smooth drive feel on demand. Pop open the hood of this 1957 Ford Thunderbird, and a 312ci (Y Block) V8 motor makes itself known. Commandeering this classic beauty is a breeze as the current owner reports power steering and power brakes in place for smooth power transition. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through a Ford-O-Matic 2-Speed automatic transmission.

In the ʼ00s, Ford decided to honor its timeless Thunderbird personal luxury car with a retro-modern eleventh generation. Produced for just three short years, this eleventh-generation T-Bird saw over 60,000 units made. Heavily inspired by the first generation from the 1950s, this new T-Bird sat on a modern platform, and used a V8 from Jaguar, of all places. Today, we’ve got a 2003 Ford Thunderbird for those who are intrigued by this pastiche of ʼ50s styling and ʼ00s mechanicals and creature comforts. The car has done only 8,312 miles, making it a real rare find, and a definitive future classic.
In 1955, the Ford Thunderbird entered the American luxury car market and shook it up. Aimed at bringing Americans a taste of the European Grand Touring experience, the Thunderbird was called the Personal Luxury Car. It was a powerful two-seater with a suitably spacious trunk and all the creature comforts of the day. Aimed at covering hundreds of miles with ease, the T-Bird quickly became a cult classic. Ford made ten generations until 1997, but they had a brief change of heart in 2002. Hence, a retro-modern eleventh generation was released, and made until 2005. Just 60,000 were sold, making this generation relatively rare in comparison with the early ones from the Fifties and Sixties. So, if you’ve wanted to try out one of these curios, check out this 4,475-mile 2002 Ford Thunderbird that’s for sale right now with us.
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.
Here’s a sixth-generation Mustang with a difference. Say hello to this 2019 Ford Mustang GT Supercharged that, as the name suggests, benefits from the glorious effects of forced induction upon its already hallowed V8. Coming to you with the Drag Package and less than 19,268 miles on the odometer, this ‘Stang is a hardcore racing machine that’s just been tamed enough for street driving. Read more to discover what this Hampton, Connecticut-based car can bring to your life. Spoiler alert – a lot of thrills and a bucketload of smiles are part of its appeal.
The relationship between Ford and Shelby is one that’s lasted since the ’60s. Even though the great man Carroll Shelby is no more, his company, Shelby American, continues to tweak and tune Ford Mustangs (and other vehicles) to reach new heights in performance and capability. One of the most prominent Shelby Mustangs of modern times is the GT500, which was based on the fifth-generation Mustang. We’ve got one of those cars for sale here, a 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible that packs just over 20,000 miles on the clock and awaits your consideration in Massachusetts. Why not pick up this car and make it your own? It’s definitely suitable as a weekend toy, and it can even be used on a more regular basis.
Ford’s Mustang created a cult, started a trend, and spearheaded a segment. Thanks to Ford’s dynamic team, which included Lee Iacocca, Donald Frey, and Gale Helderman, the Mustang was meant to be a sporty but accessible car that could perform family duties as well. Hence, the pony car was born. Depending on which school of inspiration you believe, the Mustang is named after the legendary P-51 Mustang aircraft, as well as the American quarter horse of the same name. Nevertheless, owning a first-generation Mustang is a bucket list item for many, and we’ve got a lovingly restored 1965 Ford Mustang Fastback for sale today. The car’s full restoration concluded in 2023, and it has a stroked V8 engine that provides more power.
This 1973 Chevrolet Camaro is a fully restored classic muscle car featuring a modified 350ci engine and a 3-speed automatic transmission. According to the current owner, the vehicle has undergone a complete restoration, including a new Dark Red Metallic paint job completed in 2020. This Camaro has reportedly been upgraded with a new shifter, headers, and an aftermarket dual exhaust system, enhancing its driving experience. The current owner also states that the vehicle retains its original 85,000-mile engine while benefiting from new carburetor components, a fresh oil change, and new tires. With a combination of vintage styling and mechanical upgrades, this Camaro represents an opportunity to own a classic American muscle car with refreshed features.
The Chevy 210 had a relatively short life, made between 1953 and 1957 before being superseded by the Biscayne. The 210 represented Chevy’s midrange offering, and was offered in various body styles. Buyers could select between sedans, hardtops, coupes, convertibles and wagons. Despite the short production run, Chevy actually made two generations of 210. This particular 1955 Chevrolet 210 2-Door Sedan is a second-generation two-door coupe that’s received a thorough makeover. Residing in Orlando, Florida, it’s the perfect classic car with some modern features for someone who isn’t quite ready to go full classic just yet.
The second-generation Chevy Corvette is renowned for many things. Debuting in 1963 with a neat split rear window, this design feature was axed for 1964 because it impeded rearward visibility. The second-gen ‘Vette also introduced features such as boat-tailed styling, pop-up headlamps, and the Stingray badge. That’s why cars such as this 1964 Chevrolet Corvette L84 Fuelie are highly sought after by collectors. This car is said to be an all numbers matching example with 35,375 miles on the clock, thus making it a great classic car to buy and keep for many years. Of course, you shouldn’t mothball it either; take it for a spin every now and then and experience the greatness of America’s most popular sports car.
