Read the MCA media release for the 50th, no mention of Ford corporate involvement. Looks like just an MCA thing. I searched the Ford Media site and there was no mention of anything with the 50th. It was interesting that Ford was very involved in the 40th according to their site. We may be too far out from the an event they are working on, but Ford is planning to make a big deal about the unveiling of the next gen car, just don't say how or when. I was at an unveiling celebration that Ford had April of '94 for the sn95, they rented a large warehouse, had cars under covers, free eats, and with a big screen feed from Dearborn had a simaltanious uncovering of the cars. It was by invitation only (Mustang Clubs members were invited), they definitly made a big deal back then. I was at the reveal of the sn197 at the North American Auto Show in Detroit in January 2004, less of a big deal. It looks to be a wait and see thing, but know this, after making trips to Detroit, you don't want to be there in April. Summer aint much better either.
