It's wrong to break up the celebration for the 50th anniversary. You should have it in one place or not have it at all.

I also agree that there should only be one show. Mustangs Across America is not going to do a caravan because of this. I was looking forward to doing it all -- driving across country and going to ONE BIG SHOW. Why didn't members get a chance to vote on this?
This is a big mistake. The 50th comes only one time and there should be only one show.
Please reconsider.

I hate to seem really critical, but I teach journalism and PR. Your video is too long. It takes too long to get to the point. Just give us the details in print. I waited for what seemed like forever to learn from the video about the two shows. It also is not viewable on an iPad.
But again, please reconsider. There is only one Mustang and only one 50th anniversary. I am afraid two shows will mean each show will suffer. We need one really, really big show, not two smaller and, I am afraid, less successful shows.
If I have a vote as a member since 1976, it is for one show. And for location, I would prefer Detroit. If this is a club and members' opinions matter, let us have some say in this.

In 2014 Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday are the same days as the two shows, this just does not seem right to have the show and celebration on the most Holiest Days for Catholics and Christian Religions.


I wonder if Ford Motor Company even realized this before the put their support behind this event!



even Nascar takes that week off out of respect

Has Ford put their support behind the MCA 50th events? Word on the street has Ford putting on their own 50th anniversary event in July.

I totally understand that the anniversary date for the launch of the Mustang is widely regarded as April 17th. In knowing that the 50th Anniversary will be on Easter weekend how on earth would the club not decide to have the show a week later or earlier. I've been at every anniversary show since the 30th in Charlotte and I've judged and volunteered at these shows. I just don't think that I will be able to attend the biggest milestone party yet because it is on Easter weekend. I have young kids and want to spend time with them on this special weekend. As for having two shows at the same time it would be a better plan to move the show in charlotte one week later and then have the west coast show the week later. Mustangs across America could then run a cruise out to the Charlotte show and then back to the west coast show a week later. I believe even more people would register for the cruise if the shows were scheduled this way. I understand why they want two shows so that people who don't want to drive so far can participate in the milestone event, but at least consider having them a week apart so that both of the shows will benefit from this. Please let the members have a voice in your decision of what weekend the show should take place and if there should be shows a week apart rather than at the same time.

Last weekend while at the Knotts Fab Ford show I was approached by several folks asking about a run east in 2014. LA folks can go to Vegas any weekend, that is NOT an adventure for them. I've already advised my local folks...6 day run out of Los Angeles to Charlotte WILL HAPPEN. The biggest Mustang Convoy in history WILL be heading east out of Calif and going to Charlotte and the real 50th party.
