International Thunderbird Convention

Cleveland, Ohio
August 6-11, 2019

 

Chief Car Idiot Bernie Golias was thrilled to take us along on a tour of the 2019 International Thunderbird Club national convention in Westlake, Ohio.
 
It's easy to see that Car Idiots come from all over the country to share their passion and swap stories.  What's more fun than doing that in the driver's seat of a classic T-Bird?
 
 
 

GAIL & BILL CURTIS

Gail and Bill came all the way from Cincinnati to show their gorgeous 1957 T-Bird at the International Thunderbird Club Convention this August in Westlake, Ohio.
 
Somehow, the conversation with Chief Car Idiot Bernie Golias turned to pool boys, car boys and the best way to win the judges' attention at the show. Tune in to find out.
 
 

DEB & DAVE HARVEY

What is the allure of a 1957 dusk rose T-Bird? Deb & Dave Harvey tell Chief Car Idiot Bernie Golias tell how it caught their eye and they fell in love.
Here at the International Thunderbird Club Convention in Westlake, Ohio,
they are two more of our favorite people: Car Idiots.
 
Wise words from Bernie: "Buying another car that flatters helps in relationship matters!"
 
 
 

DON MORTON

Car enthusiast Don Morton helped customize his T-Bird from the time it was two weeks old. 
He raced at the '59 Nationals in Detroit and beat a GM VP and his fancy new Corvette.
 
Oh, and he met Henry Ford (yes, THE Henry Ford) when he was seven years old.
 
What other cool things does Don have to share? Take a look along with Bernie Golias of Car Idiots Forever.
