Silver Springs Ford and Mustang Roundup, Jan 11-12 2003, Ocala, FL.
Silver Springs, FL, just outside of Ocala, FL, (central part of the state) is a cool place to visit..and it's a very cool place for a car show! Every year in Jan there is a huge Ford Powered show held here. Not only Mustangs, but Thunderbolts, Panteras, you name, you'll see it if it's got Henry's name on the valve covers! NPD sponsors the show, and there's over 1000 cars here as well as coverage from Mustang Monthly, & 'My Classic Car' too!
If you get get tired of all the awesome Ford powered stuff present here every year(not easy to do), you can check out the glass bottom boats, wild life safari, animal exhibits, and all the neat stuff here to see. It's a great place for a show, just get there early!
Here's some highlights of the 2003 show:
