Thunderbirds"!!!! |

About Our Club
The Mid America Thunderbird Club of Iowa was founded in
the early 1980's by a group of people who had a common interest
--- old cars in general, and Thunderbirds is particular. Our
club covers the state of Iowa, and we have members from many
areas of the state.
Our Club is all about
enjoying the company of friends, new and old, and enjoying our
common bond, "Our Thunderbirds". We are a family group.
We are NOT just a bunch of guys standing around with their heads
under the hoods of our cars. But our members are very helpful in
sharing information, trouble shooting problems, and finding
those hard to find parts.
Members also
enjoy the social events scheduled throughout the year.
Club Meetings
and Events
In the past we have scheduled a Valentine Dinner, events at the
Madison County Bridges, the John Wayne birthplace, the Amana
Colonies and the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum in
Knoxville. For several years we had joint meetings in the Clear
Lake area with the Minnesota Thunderbird Club.
Recent events have included trips/tours Seven Oaks recreational
area near Boone and a luncheon tour of the vintage automobiles
at the State Historical Society.
Each year
the club plans 3-5 special events, socials, tours or rallies.
To learn more about recent events check out our newsletters and
photo pages of this website.
The club
publishes a newsletter six times a year—The
Birdfeeder. The newsletter features stories
and photos about recent events, features about Thunderbirds,
member cars, history and a buy/sell column.
Recent additions are available on this website.
