"Our anniversary party celebrates this history, and brings together the cars and drivers of the 1965 Shelby American team that secured the World Sportscar Manufacturers Championship for the first and only time. This event will highlight our innovative past with the historic Shelby American Collection's Cobras, GT-40s, Shelby Mustangs and Ferraris, and we'll have the promising future of American car manufacturing on display as well with the new 2012 Ford Mustang and Roush 2012 Stage 3 Mustang, courtesy of Sill-Terhar Motors."

• Outdoor vintage car show
• Live '60s music

All proceeds will benefit the Shelby American Collection by aiding in the restoration and preservation of the classic cars, and helping fund museum operations.
