Long ago in a tropical paradise called Miami was a photo shoot with the Mustang Club in that South Florida community.  Were you there?

Yesterday, we cattle prodded readers who might have been at the September 1986 photo shoot with the West Michigan Mustang Club in Grand Rapids, Michigan at the Gerald R. Ford Museum. 

Today - we're reaching out to the Gold Coast Mustang Club and a photo shoot at Key Biscayne and other striking photo locations around Miami in 1984. 

Here's a '73 Mach 1 shot a few miles from Miami at the Miami International Airport.  Were you there for this photo shoot?  One name comes to mind - our good friend Dan Paldo, native to Miami, who lives in Wisconsin at last word.  Dan, where are you and what's shakin'?  We'd like to hear from you folks at Jim.Smart@sorc.com.  Do you still have your Mustangs from the shoot and what's changed in your life since?

I was just thinking of this a few days ago while reminiscing with a friend about the Mustang Monthly photo shoot. If I remember correctly, this photo shoot was done the day after our car show at Courtesy Ford near Perrine Fla. (just a bit south of Miami). The participants in the photo shoot were award winners at the show. I think the photo shoot may have been done by Donald Farr – although I can’t be sure of that at all. The arrival of the folks from Mustang Monthly for the show and photo shoot was highly anticipated before the show and often talked about after the show. To say the least we were very honored by the visit! At the time my Shelby was still undergoing restoration and I was so busy getting ready for the show I couldn’t get my daily driver 1970 MACH I presentable for the show. I was the Treasurer of the Gold Coast Mustang Club. During the show I ran the VIN and Data Plate decoder PC. I had written a program that ran on an Apple II that would allow us to produce a printout of the decoded Data Plate found on the drivers’ doors of the Mustangs. Even back then, there were a few surprises when people found out that their cars were originally much different than they currently were! I think I still have some information about the show and will try to dig it up if you want more information. I have been a subscriber to Mustang Monthly since about 1981 and have really enjoyed reading it and learning from it as well.

Best Regards,
Phil Cunio
