After a fun-filled podcast interview with Henry Ford III, Mike and John catch up with his father, none other than Edsel Ford II himself – the patriarch of Ford Racing. Edsel shares some favorite memories of Ford’s racing victories at LeMans and the Mustang’s product legacy. Plus, he offers his views on the role that enthusiast clubs play in building brand loyalty.

We get letters (OK, technically they’re emails), so when the inbox gets interesting, we read ‘em and weep. Well, at least for one listener who bemoans the lack of Mustang dealer brochures and posters. Another thinks John talks too much – and Mike not enough. Yet another wants to see Ford’s next 4-door sports car called a Falcon. All that and more in this Mailbag!

Mike and John stop in to Perkins Restorations in Juneau, Wisconsin, where the longtime authority on Mustang authenticity, Bob Perkins, offers up real-world stories and close-up looks behind his incredible collection of miniscule-mile, first-generation Mustangs and memorabilia.

Mustangs -- and Ford’s Michigan Central Resto-- Shine for Detroit’s ‘Cars At The Station’ Show

Mike and John knew they’d see plenty of Mustangs and collectible Fords during the two-day “Cars At The Station” Show put together by Hagerty and RADwood Detroit. But what they didn’t expect was how cool Ford’s recently restored Michigan Central Station (The Motor City’s iconic, century-old train depot) and the adjacent Roosevelt Park was for a show venue.

What does a T-Bird 70th anniversary, a Mercury Cougar reunion and a Mustang club cruise-in have in common? They all partied at the ‘Birds, Cats & Ponies’ Dearborn Homecoming, as did more than dozen notable Ford designers, engineers and execs – including Henry Ford III.

Mike and John walk you through the photo highlights of Mike’s annual MOCSEM mega-event, the Mustang Owners Club of SouthEastern Michigan’s “Mustang Memories & All Ford Show." Seen via the lens of photog Joe Deladvitch, it was the last-ever show at this iconic Ford WHQ.

After John had walked Ford’s Mustang Alley for MustangOwner’s Podcast interviews in 2024, Mike asked photog Joe Deladvitch to give us a photo tour of Mustang Alley 2025 to catch some of the hidden gems that you’ll always uncover there during Detroit’s Woodward Dream Cruise.

Tom Welch, Communications Director for the Mustang Club of Mid Michigan joins John and Mike to discuss what the club recommends you do to your Mustang when you put it away for the winter.
