What you feel and experience when you drive a Mustang is probably what made you buy one in the first place. For us every time we hit the key and hear the bark of the exhaust, or mat the throttle and feel the rush of acceleration, it just puts a smile on our face.

With our favorite pony car turning 50 next year it’s time to celebrate. Not long ago we brought you the news of the Mustangs Across America 50th anniversary drive. This will be a cross country drive taking place in the spring of 2014 to commemorate the car’s anniversary on both coasts.

At the beginning of February Mustangs Across America announced the route for the cross country drive which will take place April 10-16 in 2014. The drive includes a planned route, with available day tours as well as discounted hotel rates for participants. This will be the 20th anniversary for the drive.
