Mod Motor Tech Forums - 14th Annual Ford & Mustang Show: Jan 12th-13th 2008 at Silver Springs in Ocala, FL

National Parts Depot (NPD) has held a Mustang and Fords show in January at Silver Springs, a nature theme park in Ocala, Florida, for the past 13 years. We've always experienced great turnouts for this show (over 1,050 cars at the 2007 show from over 1,600 pre-registrations and the attending included 8 Shelby GT500s), plus the attraction of having other things to do besides check out the cars, such as glass-bottom boats to check out the natural springs, a kids petting zoo, and more. Check out: www.silversprings.com for more on the park and all its attractions.

The 2008 edition of the Ford & Mustang show will take place on Saturday January 12th and Sunday the 13th. As usual, the first 1,000 cars to pre-register by January 1st will have free entry into the park for driver and one passenger for both days. Don't delay on registering, as we crested the 1,000 mark in mid-November last year! Any entry registering after January 1st, day of show or beyond the 1,000-car threshold may purchase the show package for $17.00 per car, which still includes passes for driver and one passenger. PLEASE NOTE: If you are planning to attend but not show a car, you'll be subject to the standard park entrance fee of $32.99/general, $23.99 for children ages 3-10.

Registration is available for all Ford models early or late, and they must be Ford-powered as well!

We also have a cruise to Cedar Key from NPD's store on Friday morning. It leaves around 9 am and we had 130 cars do the cruise in 2007.
