Updated: 1963 Mustang III Concept Show Car a Big Hit at the AACA Museum Exhibit Opening Reception


Over 400 people enjoyed the opening reception last Friday of the AACA Museum's exhibit "Mustangs: Six Generations of America's Favorite Pony Car" including Ford icons John Clor and Gale Halderman (above). The Mustang III is one of 30 Mustangs on display in Hershey, Pennsylvania until October 14, 2018.

Enjoy,

I was busy all night with Mustang fans.

I had some memorable conversations with Gale Halderman and John Clor.

All 400 people stayed for the panel discussion.

Kudos to the AACA Museum for a wonderful event!

John Clor, good friend, he’s come to our car shows on LI several times now. Always a lot of fun, he and his wife Jennie.

Thanks so much for coming to the opening and for loaning us your car for a few months.  It was a fun night with lots of interesting stories.  See you in June at The Elegance!

Funny, I was at the AACA museum a few weeks ago as a stop-off on a round trip to the Pittsburgh area for a wedding.  Nice museum, I especially liked the Tucker exhibit!  But I’d have love to see the Mustang exhibit!
