The
club enjoys a diversity of members from many professions. It is currently
comprised of 44 family memberships, with more than 48
Thunderbirds.
Our
flock of Birds contains one of almost every body style offered.
Some
of our Thunderbirds are trophy winners at the National level, some are
in the process of getting there, but the majority of our Birds are daily
drivers.
We
also have a collection of Thunderbird experts who share their experiences
with each other, and with spectators at our car shows regarding restoration,
repairs, parts,
details,
and technical advice for these beautiful nostalgic pieces of rolling sculpture.
Our
club publishes a monthly newsletter, and
we enjoy monthly business/dinner meetings at a variety of restaurants.
In
the summer, these often take the form of picnics, and in addition to regular
participation at area car shows.
We
also take Thunderbird road trips or cruises through scenic parts of Kansas.
In the cooler months, you will find us visiting local museums,
dinner
theater, shows and melodramas. Wholesome, family type social activities
involving spouses and children are just one of the goals of our club.
Our
club has a great working relationship with neighboring chapters of VTCI
and with the Wichita Classic Thunderbird Club, Inc., which recognizes the
1955, 1956, and 1957 Thunderbirds exclusively. We believe that working
in cooperation with the “Classic Club” on special occasions has strengthened
both clubs and has
increased
the visibility of the Vintage and Classic Ford Thunderbird in the classic
car community.
