Description 1969 Mustang V-12 for the Escort 332 Foundation

[link]

Escort 332 is in honor of the Tuskegee Airmen. This custom built 1969 Ford Mustang fastback wears the colors representing the Red Tailed P-51 Mustangs flown by the fighter pilots of the 332nd Fighter Group of WWII. The Tuskegee Airmen breached the racial barrivers that made it possible for minority men and women to have success in the military and civilian life when hard work and dedication were applied.

This car project is an effort to not only honor our African-American aviation war heroes but to also educate people of the great contributions that were made by these brave men who had to overcome adversity, hatred, and racism in the U.S. military to fly in combat.

This car will help generate interest about the Tuskegee Airmen and aid in the education of audiences that are outside of the military and aviation circles and connect directly with the automotive industry.

very cool stuff. Are you designing the car? or are we looking at a car that already exists?

Great work, and so good effort to show how to overcome adversity, hatred, and racism in your army.
Now, everybody needs to learn so fervent example. Everybody everywere. We need to work, hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, for the good of all mankind, and in memory of those who gave their lives for the freedom of all.
