From car shows to road rallies, Mustangs gathered to blow out the candles on Mustang’s 57th birthday cake.
With Mustang Day 2021 landing on a Saturday this year, events across the globe came together to celebrate. To that end, Ace Cafe in Orlando, Florida, which is known for hosting automotive events on a regular basis, held a Happy Birthday Mustang Meet.
Open to all years and models, the informal event drew a variety of pony cars from classics to the latest limited-production stallions. While the 2015-and-up crowd definitely dominated in numbers, there was a smattering of other models in attendance as well.
Anthony Barranco’s ride definitely had the look of a Shelby GT350 that spends some time when it was meant to — on the road course. He calls her Charlotte, and this Shelby has definitely spun an interesting tale. Not only has the U.S. Marine, Sergeant run the Voodoo-powered stallion on five different racetracks, but it was imported to Europe — where it visited Le Mans and the beaches of Normandy — and then exported back to the United States. “If there was ever a perfect car, man I would be hard-pressed to not choose this one,” he says. “Everyone will have their own personal tastes and the S550 GT350 fully satisfies mine.” It was fun checking out all the cars in attendance, but we couldn’t cover them all here. To that end, here are some favorites in honor of Mustang’s big day.It was fun checking out all the cars in attendance, but we couldn’t cover them all here.
