20 Ford Mustang Prototypes Considered For Production But Never Made It

Hello GHMC Members,
Please read this important message from Paul Troxell, our 2025 Car Show Chairman: 

At our last general meeting I announced that I will not be able to chair the 2026 Biggest Little Car Show due to several surgeries that are coming up which would keep me from being able to apply myself 100% to leading all of those who graciously donated their time and efforts to this years show which was key to its success. To all of those people, I owe a great debt of gratitude for what "We" were able to accomplish. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute that I spent on the endeavor and look forward to having the opportunity to Chair a show in the future. I just will not be able to do so physically for next year's show, which is why I am sending this request out to all of our members.

I ask that each and every one of you consider taking the position of Chair for next year's car show. I can assure you that I will be there to help as much as I am able, but more importantly, I want to make sure that all of the people who worked so hard this year have a leader who brings them back to do it all over again. My Co-Chair, Nick, has some challenges that he must consider before assuming the role, and unfortunately, may not be able to. I am asking anyone who has chaired the event in the past, and encouraging anyone who has not, to consider doing so. All that you need to do is make it known to any of the Board Members. 

I will say again, this is a very fun and enjoyable experience because of the support that is provided by so many GHMC Members. Anyone who takes this on will not be left out on an island to do it all on their own. I am disappointed that I will not be able to Chair the event again next year, but it simply would not be fair to the Club to do it at anything but a 100% level of commitment. So, I ask that you please consider the opportunity to do something for the club that is key to funding our charity to organizations that serve our community. I can guarantee that you will be amazed at what it takes to get the show organized, how much so many people look forward to our Biggest Little Car Show, and the sense of accomplishment that you will experience. 

For those who were not able to make this year's show, I will give you a couple of stats. We had 150 cars at our show this year. There were 25 "Day of Show" registrations. There were zero attendees that I am aware of who had any criticisms of the event, and every person that I talked to (I am sure that I talked to just about everyone) told me that they were having a great time and that they would be back next year because it is their favorite show. This year's show also brought in the most money of any previous show, second only to the National 3-day event that was held in 2022.

So, volunteer to be the Chair for the Biggest Little Car Show 2026 and support your club; it is well worth it.

Thank You,

Paul Troxell
2025 Biggest Little Car Show Chair

From Matthew Brown:

Mr. Banovitz,

I wanted to personally thank you for the care package the Golden Hills Mustang Club sent me.  I personally took the girl scout cookies for myself but handed out the remainder of the package to one of my
squads.  They were very thankful of the socks and magazines as entertainment runs short out here.

Please give our thanks to CrossFit Solano as well.

Again, thank you for  your support.  It is received well by me and my Platoon.

How's it going Sir,
 
Just wanted to let you know from me an my platoon that we were very grateful for the package you sent SFG Gorbet he was quick to pass out a few things to us an share the love lol. I had to acknowledge the fact you went out of your way for us. Being on the other side of the world away from family gets rough sometimes. But just small kind gestures like that make it slightly better. I really appreciated it.


Thank you,
       PV2 Johnson

We just received your care package here at the Pedro compound. We appreciate your recognition, thanks, and the especially the Girl Scout Cookies!

From all of us here at the 26 ERQS Pedros a big thank you. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you.
