Rear view of a Gulfstream Aqua Mustang GT hardtop parked next to a Acapulco Blue 1968 Mustang GTCS hardtop at the 2010 Mustang car show in Port Angeles, Washington. You can see the rain clouds off in the distance over the Olympic Mountain range which hit us in a few hours with a light sprinkle. A little over 100 Mustangs showed up, would have been 2x that many if it were sunny. You can see the 1972 to 2003 category up on the top of the parking ramp.
