    Doing anything this Friday? I'll be here

    "We are very excited to announce our Annual Ford Product Development Center Employee Truck and Car Show, which will take place on Friday, July 19, 2013 (Rain date: July 26, but we won't need it, right?).
    Our theme is “Dream Cars, Pace Cars, and Ultra-Low Volumes”. We intend to show the following in our feature exhibit:

    • 1966 Batmobile (Replica of the Barris-transformed 1955 Lincoln Futura Dream Car)
    • 1954 Mercury XM-800 Dream Car, predictor for the highly-styled, new 1955 Mercury
    • 1957 Mercury Indy Pace Car
    • 1961 Ford Thunderbird Indy Pace Car
    • 1964-1/2 Ford Mustang Indy Pace Car
    • 1979 Ford Mustang Indy Pace Car
    • 1994 Ford Mustang Cobra Indy Pace Car
    • 1956 Continental Mark II Convertible – one of two ever produced
    • Two other anticipated Ford-built low-volume theme cars (TBD)
    • Our special, non-Ford-built Feature Car: 1948 Tucker Torpedo – one of 47 completed

    Of course, we will have our raffle and our usual amenities, such as the calendar, barbeque lunch, and live music, along with 400 other vehicles. "

    I believe the show may be over by 4pm, but not certain.

    You're really getting into this gig!

    As for the PDC car show, it'll start winding down early afternoon, some people take their cars out after lunch. That's an interesting assortment of cars, I've even seen a 308 in the show before.

    I was signed up to bring my car for it, but then got stuck with a last minute trip for market research in LA on Friday. Hope you enjoy it! And yes, its pretty much runs around lunch time.

    I was there and so was my F355B. Good times, except had to walk in the building and do work every couple of hours!
