Pageant of the Thunderbirds

This show was sponsored by the Earlybirds and Thunderbirds of Southern California club. I am including one shot showing a bit of an overall picture and everything else are close-ups. I was fascinated this day by some of the little touches that had been done to this marquee, some from the factory and others by the owners. Besides, the fog that had not burned off yet and made it difficult to take any other kind of picture.

Ornaments on the front fenders use to be pretty common but not seen anymore today. There were many different types on the Thunderbirds.

This front grill shows the large Thunderbird emblem and the ornaments below all the details from the factory.
