Patterned after the highly successful National Mustang Day initiative thaw was launched a few years back, the Thunderbird day was sponsored by the Classic Thunderbird Club International (CTCI), the Vintage Thunderbird Club International (VTCI), and the International Thunderbird Club (ITC). On that day, members of three nationally renowned Thunderbird clubs showed their appreciation of one of the most successful automobiles ever produced by the Ford Motor Company. – The first-ever “National Thunderbird Appreciation Day” was officially celebrated on May 21, 2017.
