Details for 50th Anniversary Pony Drives Released
Plans for the pony car’s 50th Anniversary celebration are starting to come together and Ford and the Mustang Club of America (MCA) want to make sure you don’t miss on any of the fun.
The festivities will kick off with a caravan of Mustangs driving from Norman, Okla. on Sunday, April 13, to either Las Vegas Motor Speedway or Charlotte Motor Speedway, according to an official Ford press release.
“The official Mustang 50th anniversary celebration will kick off in the middle of the country so people can enjoy these pony cars as they were intended to be used, on the road,” said Ronald D. Bramlett, executive director of the Mustang 50th birthday celebration. “We believe this will be the largest group of Mustangs traveling together in the world.”
Designated stops for the Las Vegas Pony Drive will include Amarillo, Texas, Albuquerque; N.M., and Flagstaff, Ariz. The Charlotte 50th Anniversary Mustang road rally will include stops in Little Rock, Ark., Nashville, Tenn., and Asheville, N.C.
“Ford Mustang owners love to share their adventures,” said Steven Ling, North America car marketing manager for Ford. “The Pony Drives will give them the opportunity to impart their personal stories and create new ones with fellow enthusiasts. While traveling across half a continent, they’ll form new, lifelong friendships and reconnect with past ones.”
Mustang fans looking to join in the excitement are encouraged to register at the Mustang Club of America. Click here for more information.
