This month the Ford Mustang becomes the newest member of an extremely elite club – vehicles in continuous production for 50 years. It went on sale in the U.S. on April 17, 1964 and it immediately exploded into American culture as no other car had since the Model T. The economy was booming, the first Baby Boomers had just turned 18, and they brought with them an insatiable craving for anything outside the mainstream, which the Mustang fulfilled.

The enormously popular Gittin has scheduled of over 30 events this year in the U.S., Europe and China

It debuted at the New York World’s Fair and the celebration included a Mustang being disassembled, hauled up in elevators, and then reassembled on the Empire State Building's observation deck. Ford will mark the Mustang’s 50th birthday at the New York Auto Show by recreating the 1964 public relations stunt.

For Vaughn Gittin Jr. Motorsports the 50th Birthday festivity also marks the beginning of an epic 72 hour journey to both birthday celebrations at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway. The K&N backed legend will be tearing up the track performing drifting demos Friday in Vegas and then on Saturday in Charlotte. Throughout and after the events, Gittin will be sharing compelling content on his social media channels, so you can watch as he sacrifices some Nitto Tires for everyone's viewing pleasure.
