It is time to register for the Pinto Stampede and the 50th Anniversary at Ford in Dearborn.

First, you don’t have to Stampede to go to Dearborn and you don’t have to go to Dearborn to Stampede if you just want to ride along part of the way with us or if you just want to attend at Dearborn. All are welcome. But we do need your information so follow the details below. If you already sent it in full we will be emailing you shortly with the confirmation.

Second, The 50th Anniversary at Ford will be held on Friday July 16th, 2021 Rain or Shine. Ford absolutely requires we supply them with a full list of attendees by May 1st, 2021. So I need all registrations for the 50th no later than April 26th so I can have my spreadsheets done and submitted prior. Below is what is required to be sent to me:

- Year

- Make

- Model

- Sub-model/Trim Series/Body style

- Full name/Address/Phone/Email

- At least one full front/side picture of the vehicle in accurate, current condition

We are honored to be included at this event, this is the third time The Pinto Stampede has been to this event and we are the only car club ever to attend and we have an open invitation and we thank all the previous participants for helping us make this event a success. I want to mention one more thing regarding this show. The Pintos can come and have come rusty, Bondo covered, etc. They love us and they want to see them all.

Third, we will have four separate Stampedes to this event. Basic routes are provided below, full details to these will be coming later, please indicate which Stampede you wish to join as we are keeping separate lists so the Trail Bosses know who and what to expect.

One stop for sure will be the Iowa 80, the world’s biggest truck stop. If you haven’t been there, it’s a neat place to stretch your legs and see a dentist or chiropractor, or buy a sword or that big chrome smoke stack for your rig.
