From miniskirts and hip-huggers to leisure suits and jean jackets, six decades of fashion will join classic Mustangs parading to Hart Plaza in Detroit as Ford unveils the redesigned 2024 Mustang during the Detroit auto show.
Hundreds of people in fashion dating from the Mustang’s debut in 1964 to today will compete for prizes including a two-year lease of the all-new Mustang.
Called Best Stang Decade, the contest will coincide with the new Mustang’s debut at the Detroit auto show Sept. 14. Immediately before the debut, a “Mustang Stampede” with hundreds of pony cars of every generation, from the original model to 2022, will drive from Ford headquarters in Dearborn to Hart Plaza on the Detroit riverfront.
You can register for either the drive or the fashion show at bit.ly/3AIZDBc.
Judges will include editors from Hour mediaand experts in fashion, arts and entertainment. They will pick 12 finalists – two from each decade – then select the winners of:
- A two-year lease of a new Mustang GT
- An early drive in an all-new Mustang
- A hot lap in a new Mustang with a Ford Performance driver.
Participants in Best Stang Decade must be photographed in a photo booth at the Stampedebetween 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. Sept 14.
Winners will be announced no later than Sept 19.
