Interesting monthly club meeting

[MOstang]

The local MCA affiliate I belong, the Mustang Owners Club of Southeastern Michigan (MOCSEM) held our May monthly meeting in the Ford World Headquarters auditorium on Tuesday evening. Lot's of Ford Execs turned out for the event and spoke to a packed audience of club members. Our annual Mustang Memories All-Ford show in August at Ford WHQ has had over 800 cars each of the past 2 years with what I would say included about 90% of the participation being Mustangs. It's quite an event if you ever get the chance to attend.

Vaughan Gitten, Jr. the big drifting competitor made an impromptu appearance as well after a day out on the Dearborn test track. Other speakers included Edsel Ford II (see pic) from the Ford Board of Directors; Mark Fields (see pic) the Ford President for the Americas; Jim Farley (see pic) the Ford Group VP Global Market, Sales & Service; Raj Nair (see pic) the new Ford Group VP Global Product Development; Dave Pericak the Ford Mustang Chief Engineer, Jamie Allison the Ford Racing Director; and others.

This is the first time that our club has managed to hold one of our general meetings there. It's really impressive to see the support that Ford Motor Company has for the Mustang enthusiast. And I am quite certain they are going to do right by the enthusiast community with the 50th anniversary Mustang. I've included an audience pic, which I noticed has me included in it, but I won't give away which one I am.
