Re: 50th Anv. Mustang Show @ Charlotte Apr 16-20, 2014

There were two things that DID NOT happen at the 50th, that you might be interested in. One is that I was working work a Coke distributor to have 50th anniversary coke bottles (or cans) done for teh event. They never really gave a good reason for not going forward with it, but I worked with Steve Hall on the program for some months early this year. Steve said he was disappointed, but not surprised as he has had dealings with them before with similar results. Too bad, that wold have been a cool keepsake.
The other thing is that a replica of the Mustang I two seat roadster has been built and was supposed to by at one of the events. At the last minute MCA called it off. I'm trying to get more information from Wolfgang on the details, but the guy from Diecasm/Automodello told me is Fiesta powered and front engined/fwd as opposed to the mid engine/rear drive set up of the original.
