MUSTANGS!

There was a big car show in Prescott today, aptly in the parking lot of the local In-N-Out Burger.


Can you guess what it was all about?


If you can't guess by that familiar logo, it was a Mustang show in honor of the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the Ford Mustang.


There were representatives both young and old.








Muscle car designer Carrol Shelby was celebrated on one car.


And speaking of muscle . . .




If you're going to drive one of these beauties at it's best, you'd better have one of these on your dashboard.


That's a radar detector, in case you didn't know.

But sometimes it's just all about color.


The owner of this little gem told me pink was her favorite color. Her husband finally found her a pink car and spent 16 months restoring it to its original beauty.


Complete to a pair of pink fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror.


Another owner had a Route 66 steering wheel cover.


Another car had white fuzzy dice and a warning sign.


This license plate on one of the original 'Stangs brought forth memories of the old song "Mustang Sally."


Another car's owner seemed to be thinking of Hawaii Five-Oh.


And have you ever seen a hood held in place with barbed wire? You still haven't.  That clever design was painted on by a car detailer.


Another car's owner had gone all out with his paint job.

So which of the many Mustangs over the past 50 years, with the many styles and many colors is the best?

Something tells me these guys will be arguing about that one for years and years.
