Purpose

 

v   The Santa Clara Valley Thunderbirds (SCVT) were founded in 1972 to provide a focal point for "Early Bird" owners who wished to further their enjoyment of ownership of their '55, '56 and '57 T-Birds. This fellowship has been fostered through the years and has culminated in an active membership involved in the club's current activities and future growth. We are Chapter #50 in the Classic Thunderbird Club International and have over 100 family members making us one of the largest Clubs in the country. We are located in the South San Francisco Bay area, in what's better known as Silicon Valley.

 

v   We are a very active organization, having about 40 club-sponsored functions annually. These consist of monthly meetings, parades, homecomings, tours and displays.

 

v   Your interest is of prime importance, not the condition of your Thunderbird, or the fact that you may not yet be an owner of one. If your car is not in concours condition, or you have no intention for that degree of commitment, don't be concerned. If you are in need of assistance in maintaining or restoring your Thunderbird, many members are very knowledgeable and capable in repair/restoration and parts acquisition and are always enthusiastic to help. Most of our cars are "drivers", though some are capable of capturing awards are local Concours d' Elegance.

 

v   As a member you will be able to informally exchange information at our monthly meetings and receive numerous technical tips in our award winning newsletter, "The Early Bird Fan". The Fan will also keep you current on our activities, parades and displays, and member personalities.

 

v   The Santa Clara Valley Thunderbirds invite you to attend our monthly membership meeting in the Board Room at West Valley College at 7:30 p.m. on the second Friday of each month. The address is 14000 Fruitvale Avenue, Saratoga, CA. You may also contact us for information at P.O. Box 26116, San Jose, CA 95159.
