The Mustang Owner’s Museum Celebrates National Mustang Day with Special Events This Weekend in Concord, N.C.

So how are YOU planning to celebrate National Mustang Day this year? If you are a member of a Mustang club, then it’s likely you’ll be invited to participate in some sort of cruise or driving event with your Ford pony car to help mark the anniversary date of the Mustang’s public introduction back on April 17, 1964. Ever since the Mustang turned 50, the idea of owners and fans getting out on April 17th to celebrate National Mustang Day has grown into a global phenomenon. National Mustang Day was originally set up to be an annual fundraiser for the Mustang Owner’s Museum via the sale of windshield stickers to participating clubs. The museum, which is located in suburban Charlotte, North Carolina, set up a National Mustang Day NATIONAL MUSTANG DAY - HOME website to facilitate the sale of the window clings and list all of the participating club activities planned for that day, as well as to register for the museum’s own event on that day.

 

This year, the Mustang Owner's Museum is inviting everyone join them in celebrating at its annual National Mustang Day events on April 12th and 13th. On Friday the 12th, the attendees will cruise to fun destinations about 30 minutes from the museum in Concord, North Carolina, just down the road from the Charlotte Motor Speedway. The Friday morning cruise will be to the Whiskey Prison, a former North Carolina penitentiary that has been converted into a distillery. The Friday afternoon cruise will be to the NASCAR Technical Institute Campus, where attendees will get a behind-the-scenes look at the classrooms and labs. The Friday Night Dinner starts at 6 p.m. at the nearby Cabarrus Brewing Company, featuring Steve Saleen as the evening’s guest speaker. Back by popular demand, dinner will include a whole hog BBQ and smoked chicken with all the fixins’ and a cash bar. Limited tickets will be available due to the number of people the whole hog will serve.

The Museum Car Show field opens at 9 a.m. on Saturday, April 13 with the day’s guest speakers, event attendees and the Museum’s Hall of Fame Inductees choosing their favorite vehicles. Inside the Museum you can hear guest speakers from 11 a.m. to 12 noon and from 1-3 p.m. They include Steve Saleen, Founder and CEO of Saleen Automotive; Jerry Heasley, longtime automotive and Mustang journalist; and others. The Car Show Awards will be given out at 3 p.m. and the winning ticket for the 1987 Fox Body Mustang raffle car will be pulled. At 6 p.m., doors open at the Hilton University Place banquet room for the Mustang Owner’s Museum Hall of Fame Induction Dinner. The dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m., with the induction ceremony starting at 7 p.m., followed by the keynote speaker, John Coletti, at around 8 p.m. This year’s 2024 HoF inductees include: Mustang Industry: John Coletti (attending); Mustang Racing: Steve Saleen (attending); Mustang Hobby: Jim Osborn (David Osborn, Son, attending); and Mustang Journalism: Jerry Heasley (attending).
