American muscle.....

This past weekend we heard that the Wellington venue, TSB Bank Arena, would be hosting the 33rd Annual NZ Mustang Convention. In my opinion NZ is the land of non-aesthetically pleasing cars. Sigh. No end of hatchbacks and station wagons, it's ugs-ville when it comes to Kiwi vehicles. It goes without saying that we jumped at the chance to see some classic, clean lines. :)

Immediately inside the door we were not disappointed because they started off with this beauty, a Shelby GT500. :)

  

While I was smitten with the Shelby I couldn't resist this sky blue gem (whose name neither Tim nor I can remember). :)

 

As we walked around we saw the evolution of the body styles throughout the years. Paint colors ranged from dark neutrals to bright warm colors and Easter-like pastels. A Mustang for every taste!

 

Some of the owners documented the journey from 'in need of TLC' to pristine!!

There were more cars outside some of which were for sale. Why, yes, I'd drive that home. :)
