We rolled over to Planet Hollywood yesterday afternoon to check out the official Meet N Greet event. It was an impressive precursor to the event. Over 200 Mustangs were on hand, and event main man Rodney Melton assured us that this turnout was nothing compared to what we will see on Friday and Saturday...
The highlight of the Meet N Greet was the official unveiling of the Bill Jones Tribute Project Car, which was dedicated to a beloved Mustang Week staffer that passed away. Through the generosity of the following sponsors and contributors, the car was turned from humble daily driver to a show quality ride:
