Membership Information
Our club is dedicated to friendship among Ford Thunderbird enthusiasts! We (generally…) meet for lunch or dinner and a business meeting once a month, celebrate the winter holidays with a great early winter Festivus, and host our annual BTC Car Show in early August each year. We round out the season calendar visiting local attractions and participating in area car shows and cruise nights as a club. Ownership of a T-Bird is not required!
