Las Vegas Mustang Celebrations Get Underway
If you are going to be in Las Vegas this week enjoying the Mustang 50th anniversary celebrations at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway do not miss this party at Shelby American. The Shelby factory is hosting a Shelby Vegas bash, which will lead into the Mustang 50th birthday celebration. The event is from 7 to 10 p.m. Friday, April 18. Online tickets are gone, but there are some limited tickets available for purchase at the event. Tickets are $75. For more information, go to mustang50thbirthdaycelebration.com. As you may have seen in our previous story here on the Brothers Performance blog the Shelby American facility is factory and a museum, and it brings out the motor heads from all over the country to come and visit the facility. "There are literally thousands of cars already registered for this event," Gary Patterson said. Patterson used to race cars. Now, he oversees the operations at Shelby American and helped move the factory and museum from the Las Vegas Motor Speedway closer to the Strip, closer to tourists. "They're here because they want to come to the Mecca of Shelby. This is where the world headquarters is, so this is where they come," Patterson said. This Mecca is expected to have its busiest Mustang pilgrimage ever this week. People of all backgrounds are getting a chance to celebrate the birthday of the original American-muscle car and the Shelby Muscle car originally built in Venice CA. and now built in Las Vegas. We hope everyone has a wonderful week enjoying the festivities across the country. Happy 50th Birthday Mustang.
