Event
History
2009 - Tupelo
cruise started out as an informal get together between five regional
Mustang clubs in the Mid South. Participating clubs included Shoals
Mustangs (Muscle Shoals AL), Living
Legends Mustang Club (Jackson MS), Gum
Tree Mustang Club (Tupelo, MS), SVTOA Memphis (Memphis TN)
and last but not least Mid
South Mustang Club (Memphis TN). The event was a huge success
drawing over 70 cars and 120 people!
All the clubs arrived
around 10AM for an informal show and shine at our destination,
the Tupelo
Auto Museum. Club members socialized at the meet and greet
and brought food from one of the local resturaunts back to the
museum where tables were set up amongst the cars for people to
sit, eat and get to know other Mustang enthusiasts! Everyone agreed
that we needed to do the event again in 2010!
