| 2012 Boss 302 Mustangs To Be Showcased At Woodward Dream Cruise |
The Boss 302 is back, and the Ford display at the Woodward Dream Cruise is the perfect place to check out Ford's latest pony car, the recently unveiled 2012 Mustang Boss 302. The Boss 302, along with the track-ready Boss 302 Laguna Seca, will greet visitors to the Ford display in Ferndale, Mich.
Ford employees are also getting in on the fun, bringing an anticipated 10 original Boss Mustangs for display. But that's not the only Mustang eye-candy. Mustang Alley will showcase more than 500 Mustangs - one of the largest gatherings of Mustangs in the country. The Ford display, which extends more than a mile along 9 Mile Road, also includes the 2011 Mustang GT with the all-new 412-horsepower 5.0-liter engine.
"We're celebrating our entire Mustang lineup with this display," said Fritz Wilke, Mustang brand manager. "We are letting enthusiasts get up close to learn about and experience our newest Mustangs and see the heritage of Mustangs at the same time."
For visitors looking to take a piece of the Mustang home, Mustang Boss 302 T-shirts will be given to fans. Ford also is selling Mustang Bears for $10, with all proceeds to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). Additional Mustang and Ford merchandise also will be available for sale.
The Woodward Dream Cruise is the world's largest one-day celebration of classic car culture. The event attracts more than 1.5 million visitors and more than 40,000 muscle cars, street rods, custom collector and special-interest vehicles. The annual cruise started as a small event to raise money for a soccer field in Ferndale in 1995. Nelson House and a group of volunteers hoped to create the days of the 1950s and '60s, when cars, music and teenagers took over Woodward Avenue, America's first highway. That year, 250,000 people participated - nearly 10 times the number expected. Today, nearly 100 area charities benefit from the sale of official Dream Cruise merchandise and refreshments each year.
The 2010 Woodward Dream Cruise is held this weekend, August 19-21. It takes place along a 16-mile stretch of the legendary Woodward Avenue through eight host communities in Southeast Michigan.
