Thunderbird Show-Within-A-Show

With the demise of the Thunderbird at the end of the 2006 model year, we will now have a different look for the venerable "T-Bird" Show-Within-A-Show. The Thunderbird will continue as a legend born in the 50's and those who are fortunate enough to own one will still listen to the many songs written about the car, as well as enjoying many hours of cruising in their pride and joy!

In 2008, we will feature the following six classes of Thunderbirds, with the following awards being presented.

4501 1955 - 1957
4502 1958 - 1960
4503 1961 - 1963
4504 1964 - 1966
4505 1967 Future Classic
4506 2002 - 2006

We hope each of you will enjoy the display of vintage T-Birds this year at the Arthritis Foundation Car Show, and please, take the time to speak with the owners about their cars! Our love of the Thunderbird is as passionate and American as apple pie! We hope you enjoy some of America's best examples of the iconic classic Thunderbird!
