"Mustangs... Back at Barber! The Mustang 45th Anniversary Celebration, sponsored by FORD, and supported by the Mustang Club of America, will be at Barber Motorsports Park in Leeds, AL, just outside Birmingham. The event dates are confirmed as Friday, Saturday, and Sunday April 17, 18, 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 your way to the Mustang’s 45th birthday celebration. For more information go to this website: www.mustang.org
