Selah Community Days Parade May 16, 2015 2015 WRANGLER S CAR SHOW June 6 th Hillsboro, OR It was a beautiful and hot weekend in the Portland area. Great for a car show. Over 300 cars baking in the sun. Not just Mustangs, but a wide variety of Ford products. Their theme this year was trucks. It was nice to see the different years of Ford trucks. Ray, myself and Marci were the only club members in attendance. There was a large number in the Shelby class, with a lot of beautiful GT500s, we didn t have a chance. There were a lot of new Mustangs and I was surprised how they categorized them. The class was 2010 to present and it made a very large number in one class. The 2015 Mustang is totally different car than the older ones. The first place trophies were very cool. It was a replica of an old gas pump and it was a liquid dispenser. A trophy you can use. I would recommend going to this car show at least once. Sincerely, Dave Mitts
