After watching the weather all week wondering about the chance of rain for today, decided "late afternoon rain" would not spoil the fun one bit. Woke up this morning bright and early to go meet some members of the MFMC for breakfast: Jim, Vic, and Val as usual... However, there were other members that showed up to the show: Steve, Jeff, and a member unknown to me.
Mullinax Ford enlisted the Muscle Car Network to put on their show with them, and had the start time advertised as 10am. Jim noticed that at the dealership it was advertised as 9am so we got there earlier than pretty much everybody, we were awarded with a nice shady spot by a tree. More cars turned out than I had expected, we filled up the small lot they had us in pretty quickly. There was a wide variety of makes of car in attendance, mostly muscle cars, classic cars, and hot rods. I have been to 2 MCN organized car shows, and am a member of the network. I thought both shows were a good time, and enjoyed them, but the lack of anything to do with late model cars is a little disappointing.
There were a few cars that stood out as something special for me, they are as follows:
A group of early 70's Mustangs owned by a family with the last name "Speed".
A 1954 Ford "Skyliner".
And a MG "Midget".
Mullinax Ford had a few cars on display as well, mot surprising it was mostly Mustangs. A couple of Shelby 500's, a Roush stage 1 & 427R, and some of the new 2011 GT 5.0's were out. Amongst all that muscle was a car making a comeback for 2011, the Ford "Festiva" is back!
At the end of the day, I had a really good time. I saw a couple of people I haven't seen in a while, and some folks I see all the time and enjoy their company. Also, I was able to take more pictures of cars, which is always fun for me...
