These were all the festival cars above.

I wonder how many of those parade cars were sold to the public? It would be pretty cool if someone could trace theirs back to that. Awesome pics!

All of those parade cars were the "500 Festival" units. You can see the unique sticker on the front fender. Yes they were sold to the public. There are six so far in the registry (480029, 37, 38, 54, 56, 57).

Cool pics!


There has been other cool models, but few were as sensational...

Gives some perspective on what a sensation the 79 Mustang was among Pace Cars!
