Live from SEMA 2011, we nearly covered every inch of the Ford Motor Company booth for our fans. For those that couldn’t make the journey to Vegas this week we didn’t want to leave you behind so below are a collection of photos of Ford Focus, Mustang, and F-150. The Ford booth is one of the biggest booths at the entire SEMA Show.
A 2011 Mustang 5.0 was chosen as the Mustang of choice for a tribute car that’s being built in memory of Joe Gosinski of Chicane Sport Tuning. Joe was found murdered on December 23, 2010 in his shop and, in his memory, Sal Valdez a former customer and Matt Bernal a former employee joined together to create this custom Mustang to bring exposure to the tragedy, possibly find the killer, and keep Joe’s memory alive.
The vehicles have been tallied and the exhibitors have spoken.

The Formula D Finals took place on Oct. 7-8 at a venue better known as “The House of Drift” at Toyota Speedway of Irwindale. This track has had a long-standing relationship with the event since 2005 where this year 32 drivers from across the globe would compete to be crowned as World Champion. These 32 drivers would involve huge names in the drifting world like Vaughn Gitten Jr. and JTP representing Falken and our beloved Ford Racing.
With over 80 judged cars and 110 participants all told, the Third Annual Mustang & Ford Show was yet another feather in the cap of the Georgia Regional Mustang Club. The pool of entrants ranged in years and models from a 1931 Model “A” to a couple of brand new MCA-edition Mustangs. And what started out as a brisk, early-fall morning quickly warmed up to be an absolutely gorgeous day.
