Mustang enthusiasts making their way across the country to celebrate the historical milestone for the Ford pony car are also expected to bring in a lot of cash to local economies.
In Charlotte, one of two major destinations for 50th anniversary celebrations, organizers expect event attendees to pump an additional 8 million dollars into the local economy, according to an Independent Tribune report.
A lot of the events in the area are already sold out for the four-day event, which kicks off April16.
The anniversary celebration, which also includes a big event in Las Vegas, is expected to draw Mustang fans from as far as Australia and Germany to the U.S. to ring in the five-decade milestone for the car.
