The March meeting was held at Eric Schoenfeld’s. Dahl Ford brought two 2005 Mustangs for our viewing pleasure. The red GT was the most popular. Imagine that! Ford Motor Company sent along hats and sweatshirts to give away, and Dahl Ford donated a Ford clock which we raffled off. After watching some special 2005 Mustang introduction videos, we were treated to the Falcon video from the Overland Park, KS meet. A lot of eye candy for one night.
