Members of Pittsburgh-area Mustang club pay visit to New Kensington career & technology school
The lone “pony” in the stable at the Northern Westmoreland Career & Technology Center had some visitors Friday morning.
Members of the Greater Pittsburgh Mustang Club brought about a dozen of their Ford Mustang “pony cars” to put on a car show for students at the New Kensington school.
They organized a visit after seeing a March TribLive report about Ford donating a new 2024 Mustang GT to the school, said John Reisz of Penn Township, editor of the club’s newsletter.
The club has more than 200 members, said its president, Mark Bedel of Richland. The club is increasing its community outreach efforts and is planning to visit more schools in the region, he said.
The club’s members own Mustangs from the year of its introduction in 1964, the 1964½ models, through today. The cars brought to Northern Westmoreland on Friday ranged from 2004 to 2024 models.
The club’s members toured the center and stayed for a lunch prepared by the school’s culinary arts staff and students.
