If you liked the 30th Anniversary of the MCA at Barbers your going to love the 45th Mustang Anniversary there in 2009. The MCA and Ford will sponsor the event on the weekend of April 19,2009. Stay tune for further information as it becomes available.

 

Mustangs... Back at Barber!

The latest hot and heavy rumor around is that the Mustang 45th Anniversary, sponsored by FORD, and supported by the Mustang Club of America, will be at Barber Motorsports Park in Leeds, Alabama, just outside Birmingham, Alabama. Event dates are confirmed as Friday, Saturday, and Sunday April 17, 18, and 19, 2009.

These days and dates coincide perfectly with the original introduction of the Mustang in 1964. The car was first unveiled (to the general public) on Friday afternoon/evening, April 17th, 1964. On Saturday, April 18th, 1964 pretty much every attendee at the New York World's Fair saw and fell head over heels for the Mustang. And, to top off the week-end, the Mustang was introduced to the rest of the world on the three (3) major television networks.

Did you all catch the "three major networks" part. Boy, how times have changed. Thank goodness we still have our Mustangs! And, if you feel a little tingle as you read this, that excitement from 1964 is still with us today. Start making plans to make you way to the Mustang's 45th birthday celebration. You might even stop by a FORD dealership and thank them for the continuation of the Mustang.

I'm planning on adjusting the times of the 09 66 run so we can caravan to Alabama for the 45th Anniversary along 66 and then through some awesome 2-lane roads!
