I met my brother in Greensboro on Saturday for the 34th Annual Mustang & Ford Powered Show. We had a great time admiring every single Shelby for a minimum of five minutes and pretending to know just a little more than we actually did when we had to talk to people. I loved the atmosphere of the show because everyone seemed to have a deep respect for the history and tradition of Mustangs. I could have spent days listening to owners talk about modifications and fond memories of their cars and how much of their lives they invested in pursuing their own dream car.
My favorite cars were those that displayed a model of the car somewhere because it showed the pride owners took in maintaining every detail of the original condition. Most owners chose to leave their model cars either on top of the cars or inside the car where they could be seen without being stolen. The best placement of them all was under the hood of the Mach 1. The shaker hood provided a kind of spotlight on the model car, which also provided clear context for the hood design for those wondering why they can see the sky through the car.
I had a lot of fun with this photo because the detail in the model is so fine that it could be mistaken for a full scale Mach 1 in what could, in turn, be the world's most intricate showroom.
Also I just really like Mustangs.
