NW Olympic Mustang Show n Shine - Port Angeles - May 7-8

[Mebot]

Mustang Show n Shine sponsored by Northwest Olympic Mustang Group. This is in Port Angeles, WA

No category for Marauders, CVs, GMQs etc.. We're all lumped into "other"
Still, I'm thinking about heading out and disrupting norm.

I can only attend Sunday May 8th due to conflict on the 7th.

If anyone else is interested, let me know

Can't stop the signal...

If no rain I was going but was taking my cobra mustang to show with a for sale sign in it with thoughts of a SB MM I don't have but don't need more cars. If some MM are coming I could change the plans. I was thinking the MM's should be put with the cougars. At least park with them. The other category anything on wheels.

Sounds good Torino, as far as I know it would just be me coming. Not sure any of the other guys are thrilled about heading all the way out to Port Angeles.

Recap of the Show n Shine in Port Angeles, WA on Sunday May 8, 2016:

I woke up early on Sunday to catch the first ferry out of Edmonds over to Kingston. From Kingston it was a nice hour or so drive out to Port Angeles. The morning was grey, cold and misty but as soon as I drove through Sequim, the clouds disappeared and gorgeous blue sky emerged. It was a beautiful afternoon for a car show.

I met up with Bill (Torino) in his immaculate 2003 Black Marauder with only 7k miles. We drove over to the car show location in Port Angeles. Unfortunately, since this was a predominately Mustang only show, we were lumped in the Non Mustang/Cougar crowd which included Buicks, Chevy's, Toyotas, etc...

I actually had several people come up to me asking "What is a Marauder? I never heard of them before", which I found kind of odd since it was a Ford show so I guess I just expected folks to know more about it. Still though, happy to oblige and give the history and specs of the 2003-2004 Mercury Marauders.

Had a chance to walk around and take in a lot of awesome Mustangs, Cougars and other Ford vehicles. Close to the end of the show a mint 1966 Mercury S 55 convertible pulled up with a For Sale sign. Guy's name was Bruce and he didn't know about the show but saw all the cars driving in and decided to see what was up.

I didn't stick around for the trophy presentation, and honestly don't think Bill or I won any award. It was just a hodgepodge category we were lumped into. Still it was nice to meet another Marauder owner and get my car ready for the upcoming car shows.

Pictures to follow....

This was my best in show vote: 1979 clean all original Mercury Cougar. Just don't see cars like this at shows any more. This and the all original 6 cycl 1965 Mustang was nice too since you don't see any straight 6 Mustangs at shows any more:

This was a cool "What If?" project... essentially if Terlingua Racing Team created a Mercury Cougar in their lineup. The owner of this car was very knowledgeable about Carroll Shelby and the Terlingua Racing Team info:
