Greetings Fellow T-Birders!

The Okanagan Classic Thunderbird Club, located in the magnificent Okanagan Valley of Beautiful British Columbia, is pleased to sponsor our 16th annual Show & Shine and our 10th annual Three Day Tour. We welcome all Thunderbirds from 1955 to 2005. Last year over 100 Thunderbirds participated. The cars were displayed on a grassy field adjacent to scenic Okanagan Lake in Kelowna’s beautiful downtown City Park. It was a spectacular sight!

The Three Day Tour will again cover some of the most scenic areas of British Columbia. In 2007 a total of 58 classics ”Let The Thunder Roll” and travelled via paved, traffic-free back roads.

This year we invite you to get your classic “On the Road Again”. In past years we have welcomed participants from all areas of British Columbia, Alberta, Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Arizona and Minnesota.
