We’re proud to carry vehicles from a long and exciting lineup of Ford models, and you never know what you’ll find in our used vehicle inventory. These are some of the top classic Ford models we miss seeing on the road.
Ford Thunderbird
The Ford Thunderbird was first introduced in 1955 and underwent many iterations, including the Baby Bird, Square Birds, and Bullet Birds. It was also reintroduced in 2002 with an evolved two-seater, Baby Bird style, which lasted for three years.
Over the course of production, the Ford Thunderbird lasted eleven generations. It was available in two-seater, four-seater, and five-seater models, as well as hard top and convertible configurations. It also has a history of performing in NASCAR.
Ford Torino
The Ford Torino was first introduced in 1968. It lasted three generations and has impressive showings in motorsports and racing, specifically the Ford Torino Talladega and the Ford Torino King Cobra.
The Ford Torino was a popular model available in two- and four-door configurations, but it also came with impressive production engines like the 428 cubic inch big block engine. All that power is why the Ford Torino is classified as a muscle car.
Ford Ranchero
The Ford Ranchero is something of a cult favorite. Introduced in 1957 as the Ford Falcon Ranchero, it soldiered on until 1979 and retained a diehard following for its quirky looks and a car-cum-pickup practicality that’s spawned numerous imitators in subsequent years. These don’t come along often, but it’s always a treat when they do.
