Our big annual show is just 3 weeks away and we're putting the finishing touches on all the final preparations!  There are a couple of other local events that we'll be participating in prior to our big show, Thursday July 20 at the Blue Oval Night - FORD, Lincoln and Mercury  at the Akron Thursday Night Cruise on Main Street, and Sunday July 23 at the Annual Amherst Rotary Car Show at the Northtown Recreation Center (aka the "Pepsi" Center) across Millersport HWY from the UB North Campus. All the details in the  July Newsletter.

 

If you've been considering a vacation with your T-Bird, here's a set-up you might enjoy! 

 

We had a great club turnout at the Matt Urban VFW Cruise Night on Flag Day, June 14, and we're hoping for the same when the club meets up at the Variety Club Tuesday Night Cruise on July 11. Our June Newsletter has all the details!

 

Meanwhile, preparations are well underway for our 32nd Annual All Thunderbird Show on Sunday August 6, and we'll be making final arrangements on all the details at our next club meeting, Saturday July 8 at 12Noon at  Magruders Restaurant and Pub 4995 Broadway Depew, NY 14043.

Although area weather put a damper on our club's participation in the International Thunderbird Appreciation Day on Sunday May 21, there were many around the world who were out enjoying their T-Birds! Here are some folks enjoying the day in Oregon!

Buffalo Thunderbird Club to Host the 2018 ITC Convention!

The International Thunderbird Club (ITC) is one of the parent organizations that we are affiliated with and they hold a five-day convention each season. The 2016 convention was held in Harrisburg PA and this year’s convention will be in Fort Wayne Indiana—click here for more info.  ITC President Bart Bartasavich and his wife Vera attended our club meeting on April 15 and announced that the ITC Board of Directors has designated the Buffalo Thunderbird Club as host chapter for the 25th Annual ITC Convention, to be held here in the Buffalo region from August 7 through 12, 2018! Read all about it in the April 2017 Newsletter.

 

 

Vera and Bart (3^rd and 4^th from left) joined a few club members for an impromptu, post-meeting visit to the Buffalo Transportation—Pierce Arrow Museum. As luck would have it museum founder and curator Jim Sandoro (3rd from right) was in the house and graciously took a few minutes to talk with us about our plans for including the museum as one the venues for the 2018 ITC Convention. In 1977, Mr. Sandoro was a founding member of the Buffalo Birds Thunderbird Club, a predecessor to the present Buffalo Thunderbird Club.

Once again the Buffalo Thunderbird Club was well represented at a big, annual indoor show, as five of our member's cars were entered in the 24th Annual Cavalcade of Cars on March 3 - 5 . Three of our members received top honors. Read all about it in our  March 2017 Newsletter.
