Since its inception, the Northwest Vintage Thunderbird Club has been a chapter of and actively supported the Vintage Thunderbird Club International. The purpose and/or intent of the Vintage Thunderbird Club International (VTCI) is to:

• Encourage the preservation and enjoyment of all models of Ford Thunderbird – one of America’s most beloved automobile nameplates; further expanding “The VTCI Experience – Driven by Thunderbirds, Fueled by Friendship!”
• Provide an organizational venue for members dedicated to furthering interaction among automotive enthusiasts in general and Ford Thunderbirds in particular.
• Sponsor and/or support the regular convening of international, national, regional and/or local meetings designed to celebrate and promote the preservation of Ford Thunderbirds and to conduct the VTCI’s administrative affairs.
• Collect, maintain and distribute historical information and/or technical documentation relating to the origin, design, use and/or maintenance of Ford Thunderbirds
• Compile and/or produce standards by which members may advance their enjoyment of the hobby, ensure the accurate restoration of their Thunderbird and encourage the
  consistent scoring of restoration efforts at concours judging events.
• Create, publish and/or otherwise communicate current information of interest to members through the use of electronic and print media, including but not limited to, the publication of the Thunderbird Scoop and the VTCI’s permanent website,
