Two Great Icons get together - Ford Mustangs and Route 66!
Ford National Mustang Convention 2020 connects with an American icon through Gilligans Route 66 Tours.
If the Ford Mustang is recognised as one of America’s great brand legends, then the iconic Route 66 must be a close second! What better then than to see these two great brands come together at the Ford National Mustang Convention 2020, with the announcement that Gilligans Route 66 Tours will be a key gold sponsor when 200 Mustangs gather at Te Pae Convention Centre Christchurch next October.
Sam Murray of Gilligans Tours, is especially enthusiastic. “Many Mustang owners, club members and enthusiasts from all over New Zealand have already travelled the world’s most famous highway driving Mustangs with Gilligans since 2014. Therefore supporting the 2020 Convention was a perfect fit for us”.
“By partnering with this event, it’s not only our way of giving thanks to the club members who have shown their support to Gilligans, but it’s also an opportunity to showcase our tours to people who already love Mustangs, but who perhaps haven’t yet considered spending 20 or more days driving a Mustang across the fabled Route 66”.
The Canterbury Mustang Owners Club, organiser of the 2020 Convention, is delighted to see these two great brands aligned through the Gilligan’s sponsorship. Mike Dilger, Vice President, said “Gilligans’ sponsorship adds further energy to our organising efforts, and will certainly help us increase the profile and success of what is shaping up to be a great event at Te Pae, Christchurch in 2020”.
The final word goes to Gilligans. “If you own a Mustang, and you like driving, then the chances are you really enjoy a road trip. A Route 66 tour with Gilligans isn’t just about cars, neon signs, burgers, V8 engines and drive-thru’s. It’s about the history and characters on the road, throughout the entire journey. If there is ever an ultimate road trip, Route 66 with us has gotta be on the list!”
