I am impressed with both the quantity and quality of Mustangs (and a few other Fords) at this French event. Even if they were taking it easy on the track, nice to see them all. Great video as always, Frenchfry !!
Bonjour Marie! Really kewl stuff! 5:35 Michigan plates, yay! Here in the Detroit, Michigan area, every 3rd Saturday in August we have the Woodward Dream Cruise where hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world bring their classic cars, old muscle cars, new muscle cars, show cars, and so on and park or drive (Cruise) along Woodward Avenue (the road was established in 1805 and later became the first paved roadway in the U.S.) You would love it! One year, Ford Motor Company had one Mustang from every year they've been made parked in a lot adjacent to Woodward. ~Be Blessed
The 5.0 Mustang is a really fun car do drive. My dad had one that was a red convertible and it was a blast to drive. Oh, and that turntable was really cool!
Bonjour Marie! At 5:24 it appears to be a 1978 or 1979 Lincoln Continental with two-toned paint. In 1978 for its 75th anniversay Ford made 2 Diamond Jubilee edition cars. One was a Ford Thunderbird, and the other was a Lincoln Mark V Continental, both were special limited edition solid paint colors, (blue or gold,) not two-toned though. Ford Motor had 3 main car lines then: Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury. My Dad and his father had worked for General Motors (GM) which is a rival to Ford, but my Mom really wanted that special Thunderbird, so she got one, and her best friend got the Continental. If you notice the odd, small window on the back part of the side of the Continental, it's called the "Opera Window," for the Diamond Jubilee Edition it was bullet proof glass and the dot over the i in Diamond was a lab made diamond. The Thunderbird didn't have that. Interesting that someone brought a Lincoln Continental to a Mustang rally. ~Be Blessed
I’m in the US, in the south- Georgia, and during Spring and summer, you can find car shows just about every weekend where people in “car clubs” meet somewhere public to display their cars that they restored themselves… all kinds of muscle cars from all decades, 1950’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s… and sometimes more modern. I think you would love it.
Great video Marie, it's a shame you didn't have better weather but what wonderful and beautiful cars you got to see. I'm so glad that you got to experience it. Mustangs are my favorite cars and it was so nice of you to brave the cold and the snow to share your adventure with us. Take care, stay safe, and I hope you have warmed back up 🙏🥰
So awesome to see my home state of Alabama representing! Marie, how do US plates on vehicles work when driving in France? Are foreign plates allowed? It's something I've never considered lol.
Wow that was cool! Didn't realize there were so many Mustangs in France. I had a new 2007 Mustang GT, best car I ever had. Hope you get some warmer weather. Stay well and be safe.
What fun! Although a little better weather would be nice for you (and the cars), it was still a nice show of classic American muscle cars (yes, I am counting the newer mustangs in that).
Great video, Marie! I love Mustangs especially the classic ones. Nothing beats the looks and the sound of classic cars! Glad you had a good time. Sorry the weather wasn't better for you though.
This was a fun video to watch. Brought back memories of the '67 Mustang I had back when I was a teenager (a mere 45ish years ago, Lol). I do wish I still had it but alas it wasn't to be. A very enjoyable video, Marie. You are exceptionally good at making these kinds of videos! Thank you for the trip down memory lane. 😀
What started out as a cute little runabout for the young and single, with the quick addition of some serious horsepower, made the Mustang the poster boy for American muscle cars. The late models really go for that idea, while some of the earliest (and often most valuable) still had a bit of a sports car look, if not feel. Those were, and still are, my faves.
Hello Miss Marie ! I Had A beautiful 1980 5.0 Mustang completely restored Unfortunately it went under 6 Ft of Ocean ( Saltwater ) During Hurricane Wilma in the Florida Keys when I lived 75 Feet From the Amazing Gulf of Mexico !!! Thanks for letting us Tag Along. Still Subscribed, The Like button Has been Illuminated !
I'm not a big car fan, but I have always loved 65/66 Mustangs ever since I was a kid. What a kick to see that the French love them too. Why do you think they are so popular in France.
Fantastic taste in cars FrenchTastic!! Great assortment of Musgtangs, and other Fords. Classic American muscle!Too bad the weather didn't cooperate but it was still really cool seeing all those Stangs on the track at one time! If I ever make it to France, which is on my bucket list, I just might have to plan it round this event. Thank you for sharing it with us!
That looks like so much fun Marie! It's too bad it wasn't nicer weather. I've always loved cars, the look of them, the sound, and also getting out and just driving around!
Marie, I know this is one of your older videos but after watching your American Tour so far and one older one of you washing your car I now understand your appreciation and love of the Ford Mustang. This one just popped up on TH-cam for me. My first car when I was 16 was a used 1967 Mustang Coupe like at 4:25 on this video only baby blue. I miss it to this day. My dream car would be a 1973 Mustang Mach One Gold on black. Today they are worth more than my house. We can still dream.
I love this so much! I am a Camaro guy, but respect the Mustangs, and Dodges too. The USA did muscle cars better than anyone, nothing better than that V8 rumble! If you every travel through Central Indiana, I can take you for a ride in a HOT 2010 Camaro SS, she is pretty sweet!
Awesome video Marie! Sorry the weather wasn't better for you & your Mom but great that you stayed as long as you did! I hope you enjoyed seeing a bit of America's Muscle cars. My favorite was the older Mach II style (I think the Black & Gold one in the video was an example). A movie from a couple years ago that you may be interested in is Ford V Ferrari which tells the story of Ford Motor Company and Carroll Shelby - who had quite a bit to do with some of those Mustang models, entering into the famous Le Mans France auto race. Great video Marie! Go warm up! 🐺 :0)
That was so much fun! My best friend in high school was allowed to drive his family's white Mustang to take me and him to school every day, so this really brought back so many memories to me, and thank you!! There were so many there, and I saw the Texas license plate too 😊. It is interesting that you can drive with that license plate for up to one year before getting a French license plate, and that is exactly what you are allowed to do here in Texas, if you drive a car from another state here when you move. Oh my, you all looked so cold outside there, but it seems like it was a good time for you two!
I really enjoyed that video. I'm a life-long Mustang fan (I had two of them when I was younger). It looks like you got to see a large number of different years and styles of Mustang (plus a Ford Torino and a Lincoln luxury car). The only era of Mustang that I didn't see there was the "Fox Body" cars of the 1980s and 90s. Also there was a short lived car called the Mustang II.
My only Mustang was a white 74 Mustang II with a blue interior. It served me well for 5 years, but it was both one of the least powerful and least aesthetic Mustangs ever made. I doubt that any collector would own one.
I hope the next car show you attend will be in warm weather. You looked pretty cold. I didn't realize that the Mustang was so popular in France. You even got people from the US to show up. I was 13 years old when they started making the Mustang. I am 70 now.
The original mustang was a less expensive car for regular people to buy a 'sports car'. They were super popular with teenagers. They were called ponie cars (small young horse). But by the time of the fastback they had become an American icon.
Don't think I could handle one of those mustard yellow ones-but the dark red ones look good! you and Mom should have hitched a ride in one of the Shelbys. I think you did really well considering the weather. And, once again, where was Mom's hot coffee?
There's a gathering of classic cars every month in my town, _and_ another monthly gathering at a 1950's Hot Rod themed Whataburger. You see all kinds of cars, from 1920's Fords to modern supercars. They're all there just to see each other's cars and eat some burgers or have a barbeque. And it's not uncommon for the local Corvette Owner's Club to have 50 or 60 cars snaking through town on the weekend.
I've been to a few major meets in the USA. Every year the Friday after thanksgiving, kicks off the 'Turkey Run' at the Daytona track in Florida. The year I went had over 5000 cars of every year and style. To be honest, Mustangs, Camaros and Vettes were everywhere. Didn't want to 'waste' time on them. There were so many unique cars, custom cars, trucks,etc. I was drawn to them and worn out by the end of the day. Ever thought about visiting 24 hours of LeMans?
I love mustangs. My ex wife had a 73 mustang and she worked at a parts plant where they made small parts for many of these cars. And my dad had a 69 mustang when it was new. Sadly I've never had one though :( I used to live in Dearborn Michigan when at the time the Ford Rouge plant used to be the mustang plant(makes F-150's now) in which I could see from my upstairs apartment. Mustang imho IS the number one muscle car. My dream car btw is the 68 cobra.
I noticed that every time a car would roar it's engine your camera went in search of the source of the noise. Did the deep rumble give you goosebumps? Did you prefer the older cars or the newer cars? Now we need to find Marie a Mustang of her own. P.S. for one of the best movie car chases, watch the movie 'Bullitt' starring Steve McQueen. He chases another car through the hilly streets of San Francisco in his 1968 Mustang Bullitt GT. Steve did his own stunt driving
Oh yeah it did! It’s my favorite part of those cars, the “deep rumble” 😊 I definitely was more intrigued by the oldest ones, probably because they visually have more “class” and elegance, in my opinion 😇
@@FrenchTasticExplorations I totally agree, that is why I never owned a Mustang newer than 1968. My favorite years were 1964 1/2 (the very first year) - 1968, with my favorite car being a 1966 convertible. Living in a warm climate allowed me to drive it almost year around.
When the Spanish first came to Americas there were no horses but some of their escaped into the wild, In America these wild hirses became known as Mustangs. I so wish you come to America and see The West. Yellowstone, The Badlands, The Grand Tetons and a float trip on the Snake River and maybe a peak at mustangs in Nevada, Wyoming, or Colorado. see adopt a mustang on You Tube.
Interesting video. I am the original owner of a 1985 Mustang GT that is currently sitting in my garage waiting for relocation and complete rebuild. It is driveable but there is always room for improvement.😉 I am curious how some of the cars arrived from the US?
The great thing about the Mustang is that they're affordable for the majority of people if you really want one. The same performance out of a European car is going to cost you significantly more!
Fords are the easiest car to fix or even change parts on. Every part no matter what is a ford standard part so you can interchange anything on it. No changing sizes no nothing just one size. And it’s almost the same plan everywhere. Anything after market is just added as needed but they fit any ford car. Even changing the engine is easy with a couple of bolts and screws, you lift up the engine drop in a new one and screw it back together simple. You can even get a new transmission without much hassle either. They are designed for performance and don’t quit as they just work. Even the old model t is still running to this day. It’s insane something that old still runs like brand new.
My cousin had one of those 1979 Indy 500 Pace Car versions. My Boy Scout leader did as well. This was back in the 1980s. Ford produced several of those '79 pace car replicas for civilian ownership. Don't know how many were made, but they were not all that rare. I, myself, had an '89 Foxbody. Awful car, to be honest. So many technical and mechanical issues...all the way from the smallest electronic switch problems to major engine and transmission problems.
Great surprise this video. I enjoyed it very much. Hope you had a good time even though cold.
The 67 Fastback or Shelby Cobra would be my favorite, Marie
I am impressed with both the quantity and quality of Mustangs (and a few other Fords) at this French event. Even if they were taking it easy on the track, nice to see them all. Great video as always, Frenchfry !!
great show! always loved the mustang!
Unbelievable that their are that many in Europe, WOW. Very nice collection and great Video Miss Marie.......🙂
Beautiful cars.I'm dreaming...GOOD VIDEO.Thanks.
Very cool!
The 1967(?) blue Mustang at 4:25 is my favorite.

Very nice cars. I own a 2012 Chevy Camaro, and it's so much fun.
I would never thought to see that much Mustangs and respect for them for driving their Mustang in the snow I would not drive my in the snow

We can let it on up to 1 year I think. After you have to get a French one 😁
I'm from Michigan but living in Alabama now. I love the new plates, reminds me of Dauphin island.
Wow that was cool! Didn't realize there were so many Mustangs in France. I had a new 2007 Mustang GT, best car I ever had. Hope you get some warmer weather. Stay well and be safe.

As a car enthusiast, we’ll drive in any weather provided it doesn’t threaten any major damage.
Marie do you have a favorite Muscle car??
Too hard to choose one😮

It's nice they can still be driven on the right side of the road in France, They way they were built to drive.
got some american muscle car power going on there. That one at 1.00, thats the one you want
Does it normally snow where you are this time of year?
Hmm, it’s rare but it happened by the past ❄️

🚘🤩👍
Never thought my state could sound so sexy🤣iillinwa
that lincoln continental is probably the biggest car in europe...lol
I’m honestly surprised there were no late 80’s 5.0s on display.
Gotta take a look at the Chevy Camaro, now ….❤
So what is it about Mustangs that cause you to like them so much?
You should watch the movie Gone in 60 Seconds
I think you would enjoy the movie FORD VS. FERRARI
I saw 2.3T on the side of one. Was that a 4-cylinder?

There weren't nearly enough 3rd Gen (Foxbody) or 4th Gen Mustangs there!
Enough fuel was used to power a small country...lol

80's and early 90's Mustangs are horribly ugly and so non-Mustanagy. Ford should be ashamed..
