On a bright Sunday morning in mid-September 2025, the parking lot of Dana Ford on Staten Island transformed into a vibrant celebration of automotive culture, community spirit, and service. The landmark event — the 11th Annual “Northeast Mustang Meet & Muscle Car Show” — brought together car fans, families, and charity supporters for a lively dose of horsepower and heart.
A Morning of Muscle Cars, Mustangs & Memories
The event kicked off at 9 a.m., and by then the rows of gleaming Mustangs, classic muscle cars and customized rides were already lining the lot at 266 West Service Road. The appeal was clear: whether you’re into the rumble of V8s, vintage bodywork, or the roar of modern performance machines, there was something for everyone.
Amid the hustle and bustle of car owners prepping their rides and spectators milling about, one thing stood out: the sense of community. Drivers weren’t just showing off; they were chatting engines, swapping restoration tips, and sharing stories about why their car matters. It felt less like a show and more like a reunion of friends who happen to share a passion for wheels.
More Than Just a Car Show: Food, Music & Giving Back
If you thought the cars were the only highlight, you’d be mistaken. Alongside the visual feast of chrome and paint, there was live music, food vendors, raffle prizes, and even special features like “Dyno Wars” for those who like their horsepower measured.
But what really gave the event extra meaning was its charitable aspect. A portion of the proceeds was dedicated to causes supported by the dealership and the show organizers. The combination of a fun car-centric gathering and community service helped make the day feel purposeful as well as entertaining.
