Happy Birthday Mustang!
I’m sure most of you celebrated, but if you forgot (or didn’t know), Friday, the Ford Mustang turned 45. What’s crazy (to me at least) is that there was a 4 day celebration for this ”big event.” It ran from Thursday through today in Birmingham, AL. It was expected that approximately 2500 Mustangs, their owners, and thousands of spectators would be in attendance according to G. Chambers Williams III of the San Antonio Express-News. Specifically, 500 Mustangs left Las Vegas over a week ago to drive to Birmingham for the Mustang birthday bash. In case you also missed it, Ford has introduced a new Mustang model, the 2010 Ford Mustang. I’m sure there were all different models of the Mustang at the party this weekend. There were some activities as well. The Ford Racing Mustang Challenge was scheduled for yesterday and today. Supposedly about 25 cars were going to compete each day. Ford Racing also was offering performance upgrades - including installation - for newer models in the “Mustang Garage.” There were all kinds of souvenirs to buy and new and used Mustang parts available. There were also going to be Mustangs on sale as well. I bet that some Ford Mustang enthusiasts were looking to buy themselves a “pony car” as Mustangs are referred to. Happy Birthday Mustang!
