And Now, A Message From Our
VTKC President
The Vintage Thunderbirds of Kansas City (VTKC) came together as a not-for-profit club of Thunderbird enthusiasts in 1990. We are a local chapter of the Vintage Thunderbird Club International (VTCI), recognizing all Ford Thunderbirds from 1955 through 2005. The Vintage Thunderbirds of Kansas City club has grown steadily through the years to now average 60+ family memberships annually, with even more Thunderbirds among the membership, most body styles offered are represented in our club.
A Thunderbird club is the best avenue to find and acquire a Thunderbird, parts or services. The best way to restore, preserve, drive and enjoy a Thunderbird is to belong to a club with others of the same interests.
VTKC is an active club with many different events, of which members can select their own level of participation. A planning meeting is held in January where members decide the functions and events for most of the year. VTKC plans to have at least one event each month allowing the members to drive, show and enjoy their Thunderbirds. All events are family friendly. Our events include car shows, local cruises, one day Spring cruise, two day Fall cruise, Fall dinner party and ending the year with our Christmas Party. The events are published in the monthly newsletter “Birds Eye View”.
Some of our Thunderbirds are award winners at the national level, a few are in the process of getting there, but many are simply enjoyable drivers. Our members are a great source to finding parts for your restoration project, but the International Club (VTCI) will allow you to find expertise nationally and abroad.
VTKC is dedicated to the preservation of all Thunderbirds. Our members represent all walks of life, but share one common interest, the love of their Thunderbirds. We welcome all Thunderbird owners and if you haven’t found your special Thunderbird yet, you can still join us to make Thunderbird friends while you continue your search.
To join us and enjoy the hospitality of our members and the love of our Thunderbirds, annual membership is only $25, and that cost is prorated for new members.
