The Ford Thunderbird was the first personal luxury car in the United States, bringing Americans a slice of the European Grand Touring class. Initially made as a two seater, Ford started adding a rear seat for subsequent generations, to open up the T-Bird’s appeal to well-heeled families too. So, if you want to experience 60s opulence in American style, select this fourth generation 1966 Ford Thunderbird as your next classic car buy. We’re told that the car is mostly original, packs 98,000 miles, and comes to you with all servicing up to date.
This 1966 Ford Thunderbird comes in a sort of yellowish beige paintwork, which is fantastic for showing off its iconic 60s lines. The fourth generation was made for just three model years, namely 1964 through 1966. That means you’ve got classic styling, unibody construction and plenty of chrome. There are design cues such as the double headlamps, a contrasting white roof, and white-striped tires. The keen-eyed will also note the dainty rear wheel slats, chromed tailpipes and thin-rimmed doors. As you open one of these doors, your eyes will be treated to an interior bathed in comfortable, white leather-upholstered seats. Four adults can easily travel with ample space to spare, and we’re informed that the front seats are new. Creature comforts include central locking, power windows, a heater, and a retro-modern Thunderbird-branded push-button radio with an AUX input. There’s also a quirky linear speedometer, flanked by traditional gauges for auxiliary information such as fuel level and engine coolant temperature. There’s also a nice analog clock mounted at the top of the dashboard, a feature that’s all too rare in today’s digital-drenched automobiles. So grab the thin-rimmed steering wheel, shift the column-mounted shifter into Drive, and step on the gas pedal to enter Sixties luxury motoring nirvana. Wherever you’re going, you’ll definitely want it to be a long trip, and thanks to the spacious trunk, you can take plenty of luggage too.
As befits a car like this 1966 Ford Thunderbird, there’s a powerful 390ci V8 under the hood. Factory figures are around 315hp, sent to the rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic transmission. So, while the car’s forte is relaxed cruising, you won’t find it hard to keep up with modern freeway traffic, either.

The Ford Thunderbird is a personal luxury car made by Ford across ten generations between 1955 and 1997. A retro-modern homage briefly made an appearance between 2002 and 2005. The Thunderbird was created for Ford to offer a car that enabled comfortable, luxurious and smooth long-distance touring for two adults and their luggage. Soon enough, though, Ford realized that adding a rear seat would broaden the appeal of the T-Bird. If you’d been intrigued as to what a T-Bird is like to own and drive, check out this classic third-generation 1963 Ford Thunderbird that’s for sale right now. Coming from Washington, this car has journeyed for 81,839 miles so far.
Ford’s Thunderbird was a trailblazer in the ʼ50s and '60s. Envisioned to bring Americans a slice of that luxury grand touring lifestyle that Europeans were enjoying, the T-Bird as it was affectionately called, started life as a two-seater. Over time, it gained a rear seat as well, since Ford realized that some people liked to take their children along too, plus a rear seat meant that the car was better suited to regular family life. Ten generations of T-Bird graced our roads between 1955 and 1997. In 2002, Ford decided to create a homage, and the eleventh generation was made. This 2002 Ford Thunderbird Deluxe is one of those cars, and with just 31,368 units made for 2002, you’re part of a pretty exclusive club now. You see, the eleventh generation is poised to become a future classic, so this 28,475-mile car is a savvy investment too.
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.
Ford’s Mustang has been around for over sixty years and is now in its seventh generation. It’s one of those relatively rare nameplates that’s been around since the time of your parents, and your grandparents as well, if you’re a Millenial or Gen Z’er. Few automotive nameplates can claim such fame, or celebrate anniversaries in spades. Take this fourth-generation 2004 Ford Mustang GT Deluxe Convertible 40th Anniversary as a prime example. Having traveled a smidge over 28,000 miles and currently chilling out in Maryland, this drop-top pony could be your weekend ride, as well as a significant nest egg, given that it’ll be a classic very soon. The car reportedly comes with all maintenance up to date, for peace of mind.

Imperial is a brand that many people today won’t remember, or know about at all. So let us give you a quick history lesson. In 1926, Chrysler Corporation started using the Imperial tag to denote the top-tier trim level of their finest automobiles. This remained the status quo until 1955, when Imperial was spun off as a separate brand under the Chrysler Corporation. It represented the brand’s luxury offerings, and gave us cars like this 1966 Imperial Crown Classic. This car is a second-generation example with 51,000 miles on the clock and it currently resides in Naples, Florida. Why not buy it as a tasteful classic car as well as a smart future investment?
A first-generation Chevy Corvette is a fantastic car to own and drive. It’s a piece of American automotive history, after all. Produced between 1953 and 1962, over 69,000 were made. It was also the only Corvette era to come with a six-cylinder engine choice, something that Chevy quickly realized didn’t suit a flagship sports car. Thankfully, all Corvettes thereafter have packed a V8. Many people nowadays want an original first-gen Corvette, but there are some who love restomods. If that sounds familiar, have we got the car for you! Say Howdy to this Pennsylvania-based 1960 Chevrolet Corvette LS3 Restomod that’s got just 1,000 miles after its comprehensive makeover. There’s a lot to learn about this car, so let us give you the highlights, but don’t forget to shoot us a DM or give us an old-fashioned phone call if you’re interested.
If there’s one category of vehicle we’d love to see return in 2025, it would be the “Personal Luxury Car.” These individualized creations focused on being the ultimate in luxury coupes, with comfort being one of the key factors for individuals who like to drive alone. The market was dominated by cars like the Ford Thunderbird, but the upmarket division of the Ford group had their own take on it too, and that came in the form of the Lincoln Mark VI. Our featured 1983 Lincoln Mark VI looks sinister in its deep black paint job with a matching black leather interior and a smoother 5.0-liter V8 engine. The car has 58,000 reported miles on the odometer and looks to be a well-preserved example that will likely appreciate in value in years to come.
