The Vintage Mustang Club of Kansas City hosted “Comin Alive in 2005” an MCA National show held on June 24-26, 2005 , in Overland Park , Kansas . Three groups from the Platte Valley Mustangs attended the show that weekend along with about 7 cars from the Capital City Ford Club out of Lincoln . Going down from our club were Ron & Mary Hostetter with their new 2005 Mustang GT, Dennis Brandenburg in his 2002 Mustang GT and Rex, Brock and Bob Minert with an 84 GT Convertible.
Show headquarters was the Doubletree Hotel with the show site at nearby Corporate Woods Office Park . Registration began on Friday at the Doubletree where the Vintage Mustang Club hosted a barbeque. Saturday morning, the show was in full bloom with judging taking place during that afternoon. The weather was very warm, no make that very hot! On Saturday night, a beach party was held back at the Doubletree.

Sunday brought more hot weather, but somehow having well over 200 great looking Mustangs around to look at, made everything bearable. Awards were presented on Sunday afternoon. The Columbus and Lincoln group did extremely well at award time. Denny Brandenburg received a First place award in the 1994 – 2003 Closed Occasional Driven Class and the Minert’s received a Gold in the 1974 – 1993 Unrestored Class. Hostetters didn’t enter their car into competition since they were also spending time with family in the K.C. area that weekend. All of the Lincoln Club members received awards for their cars with most getting a first or gold award in their respective classes.

This was a great show to attend and we all had a great time in Kansas City . If you ever get a chance to attend a National MCA show I would highly recommend it, the quality of cars at these kind of shows are unbelievable.
