Description
Why a Thunderbird Club?
Classic Thunderbird Club International (CTCI) was formed to band together owners and admirers of the 1955-57 Ford Thunderbird — to serve as a medium of exchange of ideas, technical information, and sources for parts. Lasting friendships have been formed through local chapters, Regional Conventions and International Conventions. Moreover, CTCI is recognized and sanctioned by the Ford Motor Company, which extends cooperation and support.
What Membership Means
Whether your Classic Thunderbird serves as everyday transportation, a relaxing hobby or both, you will find valuable help with restoration and maintenance in the TECH TIPS printed in the club publication, the Early Bird. This informative, illustrated periodical is distributed every two months and contains a variety of interesting features. Articles about historical data, members and their cars, news of chapter events and activities, are all profusely illustrated with photos. In addition, the Early Bird offers an advertising service to those wishing to buy, sell, or swap parts or cars.
Tours, meets, road rallies, picnics and other outings designed to encourage group participation are regularly conducted by the various chapter groups. Check our web site www.ctci.org for a chapter near you. You are cordially invited to attend any of these friendly chapter meetings or events. CTCI members may also participate in Concours d’Elegance competition at CTCI conventions.
