    New Ford Experience Center Venue Puts Fresh Spin on the 4th Motor City FoxFest

    With the explosive growth in the fan following for 3rd generation Mustangs over recent years, it’s no surprise mega Fox Body Mustang shows would become must-see events. So, in the wake of the annual success of Foxtoberfest (check out our Podcast from the 2024 gathering at the Charlotte Motor Speedway), a group of Fox enthusiasts from the Detroit area decided to put together a Motor City version of a FoxFest and hold the show at the recently decommissioned Ford World Headquarters. It was patterned after the popular Mustang Memories shows hosted by the Mustang Owner’s Club of SouthEastern Michigan on the back lot of Ford’s famed “Glass House” HQ.But after 3 years there, the Motor City FoxFest was forced to find a new venue with the closure of that property due to the Ford World Headquarters move to an ultra-modern massive new facility on the automaker’s Dearborn engineering campus. While the new Ford HQ does not have a wide-open paved area to host a big car show, the Ford Experience Center (internally dubbed the FXC) located just across the street does. So event organizers negotiated with Ford to host its 4th annual Motor City FoxFest on the three large parking lot next to the FXC and adjacent to the Henry Ford Museum’s expansive Greenfield Village grounds and parking area. John and Mike visited this year’s FoxFest to check out the new venue and all the great Fox Body rides and SN95 Mustangs that were on display across the three show areas. Enjoy this episode’s visual tour as the boys talk you through the great photography by Ford Marketing retiree Bill Cook, a longtime contributor to John’s FordPerformance.com “Enthusiasts” section. Our thanks to Bill for these exclusive Motor City FoxFest photos. 👍Please Like this video and Leave a Comment 🔔 Subscribe to the Mustang Owner’s Podcast 📢 Share with fellow Mustang enthusiasts.

    What’s the Vibe in Ford’s Mustang Alley? Walk Along with Us to Get the Real Story

    Any true Mustang fan knows about Ford’s long-running “Mustang Alley” gathering every year during Detroit’s massive Woodward Dream Cruise. Technically on a street and not in an actual alley, Mustang Alley stretches a few blocks down East Nine Mile Road where it intersects Woodward Avenue at the very spot the Dream Cruise begins in the suburb of Ferndale, Michigan. While it’s sweet to see 700-900 Mustangs angle-parked on both sides of the “alley,” what’s even sweeter is to experience the Mustang-loving vibe that this popular event gives off each and every year. It doesn’t just come from the cars – but from the owners and fans you’ll find there from all corners of the globe. As John and Mike always say, “Everyone has a Mustang Story,” so for this episode, walk along Mustang Alley 2026 with them as they get you the stories behind some of the Ford insiders, known players in the hobby and dedicated owners that they found there on that warm August day. Sit back and follow along to see if you recognize some of the people and the cars that made Mustang Alley 2026 so much fun! 👍Please Like this video and Leave a Comment 🔔 Subscribe to the Mustang Owner’s Podcast 📢 Share with fellow Mustang enthusiasts.

    Sharon Hansen Has Mustang Epiphany After Visiting the Halderman Museum

    Have you ever done anything in the Mustang enthusiast community that turned out to be a transformational experience? You might be surprised to know that through the stories that many of you have shared with us, it happens more often than you might think. That’s why when Gale Halderman’s daughter, Karen, showed us a thank-you note she received from Sharon Hansen after a visit to the Halderman Mustang Museum with her husband and her son, we knew you’d want to know about it. John and Mike had enjoyed a wonderful friendship with the late Mustang designer and have been frequent visitors to the Halderman Barn Museum, managed by Karen and her own daughter, Lauren. There’s no doubt the place has special vibe all its own, and the note from Sharon to Karen explains it in a way that helps bring Mustang’s history to life, both through Gale’s “Mustang By Design” book that she bought that day – and though the kindness that Karen offered the touring family on the day they stopped by. This episode shares the thank-you note and explains how the museum tour provided Sharon an epiphany of sorts about the Mustang, its design history and Mustang people like the Haldermans who power Mustang fandom and can make impactful connections with people. Our thanks to Sharon Hansen for allowing us this glimpse at her Mustang story that she never expected to be made public.

    Mustang Memories Show Meet & Greet Nets Walk-Up Stories, Celebrity Guests

    The Mustang Owner’s Podcast took its Meet & Greet tent on the road again this year – this time to the annual Mustang Memories & All-Ford Show hosted by the Mustang Owners Club of SouthEastern Michigan (MOCSEM). Normally held behind Ford’s former HQ known as the “Glass House,” the Memories show was moved to the nearby AAA Headquarters after Ford had moved into its new World Headquarters on its Dearborn design and engineering campus, and slated the Glass House for demolition.Beyond the venue, the date for Memories 2026 was also moved to the Sunday before Detroit’s famed Woodward Dream Cruise instead of the Sunday after. Regardless of the changes, Mustang Memories drew several hundred cars and even more attendees to share a Sunday of sunshine, Mustangs and classic Ford camaraderie. John had to work Ford’s Meet & Greet tent for Team Mustang, while Mike set up the Mustang Owner’s Podcast tent right alongside to meet with fans, do live recordings of their Mustang stories and even welcome some Mustang celebrities – including Kevin Marti of “Marti Report” fame, SN95 Chief Designer Bud Magaldi, plus Mustang II Designer Buck Mook and SN95 Interior Designer Emeline King, just to name a few.We’ll take a closer look at the cars on display at MOCSEM’s Mustang Memories 2026 in an upcoming episode, but this time around we wanted to give you an idea of the Mustang vibes at this nationally known event, and see what is was like to hang out with the podcast team for a day of Mustang show fun in Ford’s own back yard.  👍Please Like this video and Leave a Comment 🔔 Subscribe to the Mustang Owner’s Podcast 📢 Share with fellow Mustang enthusiasts.

    Saga of Shirlee McArthur’s ’00 Cobra R: When Is It ‘Right’ to Sell Your Mustang?

    One of the most difficult decisions any Mustang owner will ever make is deciding if and when it’s the right time to sell one of their beloved pony cars. Sometimes it’s a financial decision, other times it’s driven by a need to thin the heard. Or maybe it’s just time for  change. Regardless, of the reason, selling more often than not becomes a source of regret. We’ve all heard, “I should have never sold my (fill-in-the-blank) Mustang!” In this episode John and Mike interview Shirlee McArthur, whose award-winning (and ultra-rare) 2000 SVT Mustang Cobra R has been wowing car-show audiences all over the country for years now. John has seen it in person and because of its pedigree, believed Shirlee would NEVER sell this car – until he‘d heard she’d actually put it up for sale! Hear why this car is so special, why Shirlee considered selling it – and join her in trying to help the guys determine how you can know when it’s the right time to sell your Mustang. What about you?

    Mailbag July 2026: An AWD S650? ‘Boring’ Fords? / Tech Episodes?

    With June 2026 Mailbag content included in our inaugural “Roundup” episode, John and Mike field some thought-provoking questions and comments in this July 2026 Mailbag episode – especially one involving an All Wheel Drive variant of the S650. Of course, few really know if such an initiative exists but we offer a scenario why it might make sense if a four-door Mustang is really being considered – and how that might even cover the rumors about a Hybrid. A frequent commentor weighs in on Ford’s “No More Boring Cars” mantra – and asks, are Fords really boring or is it the product choices and marketing? Plus, we reveal what determines our on-site car show episode selections vs. studio podcasts, and even discuss if perhaps adding a few Tech Session episodes – perhaps including the expertise of our friend Jim Smart, should be added to our mix.
