The event will showcase Ford vehicles from different eras and regions, with a special focus on the 60th anniversary of the iconic Ford Mustang.
The Mustang: A Legend of the Road and Screen
The Ford Mustang was launched in 1964 as an affordable and stylish sports car for the American market. It soon became a cultural phenomenon, appearing in movies, TV shows, music, and racing. The Mustang has gone through several generations and models, from the classic pony car to the modern muscle car, and has fans all over the world.
AllFord at Alford will feature a special display of Mustangs from different decades, including the latest V8 and the electric Mach E. The event will celebrate the legacy and the future of the Mustang, as well as its impact on the automotive industry and popular culture.
