About MOCSEM
The Mustang Owners Club of SouthEastern Michigan
(MOCSEM) was founded in November 1975 by a group of
people with the desire to protect the Ford Mustang’s role
as one of the most attractive and fun-filled cars ever
made. We are enthusiasts of all ages and from all walks of
life who are enjoying a love affair with all generations of
America’s premier Pony Car. Whether it’s a coupe,
convertible or fastback from 1964½ to the current models,
we love them all. The mission of MOCSEM club members
is to enjoy, collect, restore, and preserve the history of the
Mustang along with the stories of the people and the roles
that they played in making this one of the greatest cars of
all time. Although Mustang ownership is not a requirement
for club membership, your enthusiasm, expertise, and / or
love of the automobile are most welcome.
Many of our club members own one or more Mustangs in
varying body styles, models and years. Club members are
always exchanging information, providing sources for
parts, literature and helpful hints for restoring or
maintaining their Mustangs. Our members are a diverse
group of individuals, located throughout Southeastern
Michigan and all share a great appreciation for the Ford
Mustang.
Our general membership meetings are held on the second
Tuesday of each month. Our monthly newsletter, The
Accelerator, provides the members with reports on club
activities, technical information, feature stories, Ford and
Mustang news and product information, advertisements
and business service locations, and more. Some club
activities include car shows, picnics, sporting events,
cruise nights, museum tours, visits to automotive
attractions and happenings, and technical sessions.
General Meetings
General membership meetings are held the
second Tuesday of each month at 7:30 pm at:
Warren Valley Banquet Center

Dearborn Heights, MI

A buffet dinner will be served at 6:30 pm for $13 perperson which includes basic beverages. (A cash bar is
also available.) So come early and socialize over dinner.
The dinner menu will vary every month and will be
published on the event calendar at www.mocsem.com.
General meetings are open to the public, often include
guest speakers, and are a great way to learn more about
the club and get to know our board and members.

Show Season
Is Here!
I cannot believe how fast the year is flying by! I know I’ve
said that before, but again it seems that time marches
past so quickly we can hardly keep up. The car show
season is in its prime as we speak, and we are less than
40 days away from Mustang Memories already – yet with
a ton of stuff still to do for us to be ready for our big event.
The Carlisle Ford Nationals was another great show to
experience this year, just as it is every year. I was lucky
enough to be part of it. I also attended the annual Rocky
Mountain Mustang Roundup out in Colorado, as well as
the inaugural Barrett-Jackson Northeast Auction event in
Connecticut. What a show that turned out to be! This
inaugural event was a total sellout both for tickets and
consignments -- first time that happened in the 45-year
history of Barrett-Jackson! The three-day auction attracted
more than 90,000 auction guests, over 1,700 bidders and
total sales of over $26 million. It was nice for east coast
enthusiasts to finally land a Barrett-Jackson mega auction.
Back to Mustang Memories 2016: If you haven't yet
signed up to volunteer to work the show or haven’t yet
registered your car, please do so NOW to ensure another
successful event for both you and the club! We need
every member to come out and support the club on at
least this one day each year, and for 2016 that day
Sunday, August 21st in Dearborn. Yes, our venue had to
be changed back to Ford World Headquarters, but most
everyone is pleased and is super excited about that! So

I look forward to another amazing year for Mustang
Memories, which remains a big pride point for MOCSEM!

MOCSEM June Membership Meeting Minutes
Tues., June 14, 2016, 6:30 p.m., hosted by
Motor City Solutions, Taylor, MI
Board Members Present: Lisa Sielski, Rich Kocan,
Sarah Cassette, Jeff Beyar, John Clor, Bill Smith, Mike
Sove.
Board Members Absent: Mike Rey, Jennifer Smith,
Tracey Rey.
John Clor, Editor – Meeting was opened by John Clor,
Editor, who announced that he was standing in for Mike
Rey and Jennifer Smith to run the meeting, yet at the
same time would be serving as the meeting’s guest
speaker later in the evening. John began by giving a
special “thank you” to Jeremy Lester, the operations
manager for Motor City Solutions, and his entire staff for
hosting our June meeting at his facility. Motor City
Solutions did a great job arranging the meeting area with
tables, tablecloths, candy bowls, chairs, and “Welcome.
MOCSEM” signage. Several adjacent long tables were
loaded with boxes stacked high with several different
varieties of super-large gourmet pizzas – and everyone in
attendance was invited to join in an all-you-can eat pizza
dinner, with plenty of cold soft drinks and water included.
After the call for “seconds” went out and the dinner wound
down, John called up Mr. Lester to have him explain all of
the services that are available for vehicle owners at Motor
City Solutions. John then announced Mustang Memories
th
Workers Signup will go live tomorrow (June 15 ) on the
website and that Mike Sove will be bringing around a
signup sheet to each table for the names of volunteers.
Show Committee Heads were then asked to come up to
speak, and Tony Gulley came up to discuss working
Security at the show.
Rich Teeple of the scholarship committee was then called
up to talk about our chili cook off fundraiser, and to
introduce a new member of the scholarship committee.
John Clor then made an announcement that members can
watch the Ford GT return to race in the 24 Hours of Le
Mans this coming weekend via live race feeds being
broadcast at the Henry Ford museum in Dearborn. The
first special program sponsored by Ford Performance
Sarah Cassette, Membership – Announced that our
current paid membership remains at around 600
Jeff Beyar, Social Director – Jeff reviewed plans for the
Ford Yacht Club Meet and Cruise on Grosse Ile, and
announced that while food will be available there,
donations will be accepted to help offset the cost to the
club. He also talked about the MOCSEM “Ponies In The
Park” plans for the Downriver Cruise along Fort Street.
Bill Smith, Trustee – No report
Mike Sove, Club Ambassador – Reminded all that a
sign-up sheet is available for working the Mustang
Memories show, and again thanked Motor City Solutions
for hosting our June meeting.
John Clor, Editor – John asked that all members submit
stories and photos of their Mustangs to appear both as the
cover story “Member of the Month” feature in upcoming
issues of The Accelerator club newsletter, as well as in the
“Ford Fan Spotlight” in the Fast News From Ford
Performance e-mail newsletter and in the “Enthusiasts”
section of FordPerformance.com.
John then said that instead of making a formal
presentation as Guest Speaker, his topic tonight will be,
“Ask John Anything.” To start the discussion, he brought
questions submitted to him by attendees at the Carlisle
Ford Nationals, and asked that any questions that
MOCSEM members had about Ford, Ford Performance
and the Ford Mustang be brought up to him during his
talk. John responded to numerous questions – except
those that pertained to “future product.”
There were no Certificate Presentations nor New
Members identified at tonight’s meeting. Swap & Sell
items were discussed, and donated corded Mustang
medallion bracelets were distributed FREE of charge.
50/50 and Free Dinner Winners – In the 50/50 Raffle,
$91 was won by Jim Carolan and $45 by Rich Kocan.
Free Dinner winners were announced, and The Bucket
went to Mike Sove. To close, a group photo was taken.
There being no further business, the General Meeting was
adjourned. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, July
12, 2016, at Warren Valley in Dearborn Heights.

MOCSEM Calendar
By Jeff Beyar
MOCSEM Social Director
Yes, it’s July Already!
The height of show and cruise season is now here. I hope
that everyone is enjoying the summer so far and is
attending as many Mustang-related events as possible.
In case you may have missed it, we had a successful
Downriver “pre-cruise” kickoff event at the Ford Yacht
Club on Friday, June 24, and a great day on Fort Street at
Kennedy Memorial Park for our annual “Ponies in the
Park” gathering on Saturday during the Downriver Cruise.
The city of Lincoln Park was very gracious to offer the
park to MOCSEM for our members-only parking. This is
another sweet benefit of being a MOCSEM member.
For the yacht club cruise, our Editor, John Clor of Ford
Performance up with a Shelby GT350 Pace Car that was
recently used during the FireKeepers Casino 400
NASCAR race at MIS. With its Competition Orange paint,
Sport Exhaust and yellow-and-white strobe light ablaze,
there was no better car to lead the cruise all around the
perimeter of the island. We had burgers and hot dogs
catered for members. We collected donations for food as
attendees arrived rather than charge a flat rate. We did
pretty well with the donations but the club still carried
about a little more than half of the total food bill. But by all
accounts it was a great weekend for all.
As you might expect, we are ramping up big time for our
annual Mustang Memories show the day after the
Woodward Dream Cruise. The planning is in full swing
and it looks like we’re going to have another memorable
show at the Ford World Headquarters. Make sure to
register, if you haven’t done so already!
Of course, this is MOCSEM so you’ll find many more
events listed on the calendar on our web site. And as a
reminder, this month’s general meeting is on Tuesday,
th
July 12 at Warren Valley. On the menu is Tacos, Rice,
Beans and Taco Salad, with brownies for desert. Our
special Guest Speaker is Ford’s Ralph Arning from the
Flat Rock Assembly Plant. As always, there will be a lot of
club news and information shared, so bring them ponies
out and enjoy an evening with your MOCSEM friends.

Motor City Musings
By John Clor
MOCSEM Editor
It’s Really Just All About
Making Mustang Memories
Yes, this month’s newsletter is again a few days behind
schedule, but I must tell you that June-July-August is
the busiest time of year for me, with the most days
spent on the road than at any other time of the year. As
you know, my role as Enthusiast Communications
Manager for Ford Performance isn’t just a matter of
managing the content for emails and the “Enthusiasts”
section of FordPerformance.com. A big part of the job
is also doing “outreach” at shows and events across the
country. That usually involves driving to club shows and
setting up a 10x10 Ford Performance display tent
where I’ll do a daylong “Meet & Greet” and a Mustang
poster giveaway (the latter usually thanks to the efforts
of my wife, Jenny, who more often than not comes
along with me and keeps our display tent going even
when I’m off taking pictures, checking out the cars with
attendees, or giving a speech before the show awards
presentation. That face-to-face time with real owners
and enthusiasts is the big difference-maker for our
marketing program, as it provides a tangible, personal
connection with our Ford clubs and loyalists.
While I enjoy meeting and talking with all of you, there
is one thing I often get to do at Mustang shows that
makes the whole trip worthwhile: Whenever I see a little
kid at the Mustang show who is in tow with mom or
dad, I go right up to them and say, “HI! -- Do YOU have
a Mustang?” While they’ll often look up at me
speechless, their parents will often answer for them:
“No, but their Daddy (or Mommy) has a Mustang!”
But I’ll look back at that little child and say, “Well, Ford
Motor Company wants YOU to have a new Mustang!”
Then I reach into my pocket and hand them a 1/64scale die-cast of a Race Red 2015 Mustang GT in a
little box, and tell them, “This is YOUR Mustang – not
daddy’s or mommy’s, OK?” – YOU SHOULD SEE
THEIR EYES LIGHT UP! (It’s the coolest feeling to
make their trip to the Mustang show so worthwhile by
being able to come home with a toy Mustang that some
guy from Ford gave them! I hope they recall fondly what
might be their first “Mustang Memory” – what a rush!
Speaking of Mustang Memories, I can’t tell you how
happy I am that the Mustang II National Reunion
portion of our show has already set a new single-event
record for Mustang II showfield registrations – we have
more than 50 cars scheduled to appear with more than
a month still to go! Add to that the runaway success of
the “Color War” promotion between the Red Mustang
Registry (RMR) and the Yellow Mustang Registry
(YMR), and that means we’ll have well over 200 more
cars that will appear at Memories than we would have
had without including these two special events!
Oh, sure, I’d heard that one of our club haters and old
Facebook hijackers had posted that it’s “epic” that the
Color War has “only” drawn that many extra cars –
except that most of the Mustang club shows I attend
each year would consider drawing a total of 200 cars
for their entire event a huge success! Not sure how
many members that this MOCSEM Haters Club has, or
how many registrations they have for their show (oh,
wait – that’s right, they have none of either!). Some of
these folks haven’t paid dues for years yet show up at
member-benefit only shows like they still belong. But
living in the peanut gallery and taking shots at the folks
who don’t do things the way you want is just not cool.
The problem with spewing hate it, it’s like taking poison
and expecting the other person to die. The answer
remains, if you’re smarter and better – start your own
club and knock yourself out making it bigger and more
rewarding than your competition.
For the rest of us who happen to actually know about
club events on the national level, Mustang Memories
remains one of the “must-see” annual shows anywhere,
and it’s all thanks to dedicated MOCSEM members
who take pride in participating in one of the finest Ford-

MOCSEM MEMBER OF THE MONTH
1969 Mach 1 of Bill Musser Has Seen Exciting Times
Bill Musser’s Hot 1969 Mustang Mach 1
me how fast we are going. I looked at the speedo and
told him, “About 132 mph or so” (because the needle
was buried at 120 mph). But John Henry replied, “Well,
whoever is behind you is catching up to you!”
I looked in the rearview mirror and all I saw were two
headlights coming towards me. So I pulled over to the
side of road and waited. The two headlights pulled
behind me, and the next thing I knew, a big red light in
middle of car’s roof was now on! It was a State Trooper
in a Plymouth Fury with a Hemi – one of last six on
road back then. The trooper came up to the driver’sside and asked for my license, registration, and proof of
insurance – and then told me to get out of the car.
Once I got out, the trooper asked me to step to the
back of the Mustang. Then he talked to my friends in
the car. When the trooper was done questioning them,
he walked back to me and asked me to go and sit in
passenger seat of the police car. He got back into his
patrol car and asked me, “Do you know why you are
sitting in the front seat and not the back seat?” I said I
didn’t know. Then he showed me the radar gun: It read
“146.” The trooper said he couldn’t believe my Mustang
was that fast. (Back then it was a stock daily driver!)
Just like all cars, my 1969 Mach 1 has a history. I have
owned her since 1981, when it was my dally driver to
and from work. I recall the day I bought it. It was for
sale for $1,500 and I talked the man down to $1,350 –
which was still a lot of money back then, as I was
making $3.65 an hour making pizza.
I have two cool stories I about the car I’d like to share.
The first was from back when I used to hang around
Big Boy’s in Lincoln Park with my friends. One night I
was there at 4:30 a.m. with my friend, Sam, his brother
John Henry, and Mike. We wanted to go for a ride in my
Mustang so we headed south on I-75 toward Flat Rock.
My friend John Henry said, “Let’s see how fast this
Mustang will go!” Next thing I knew, John Henry asked
Then the trooper asked me how my driving record was,
am and I told him it was good. He called-in my license,
and it came back clean. The officer explained to me
Mustang Owners Club of Southeastern Michigan • PO Box 39088, Redford, MI 48239 • www.mocsem.com
The Accelerator
Page 8
that he couldn’t write how fast I was going on the
bottom of the ticket, because that number would raise
questions from his boss, so was written up for a 62 mph
in a 55 mph zone. The fine was in the 5-over-the-limit
category, and he trooper said that he did it for me
because I stopped and pulled over for him and he didn’t
have to chase me at high-speed. The officer told me
not to fight the ticket in court and to just pay it. (Yes, he
gave me a really big break.)
Mustangs and Fords in The News
Editor’s Note: In case you’re living under a rock and
for some unexplainable reason don’t yet get the weekly
“Fast News From Ford Performance” email, we’ll
choose a few interesting Mustang media items to
appear in this space each month you may have missed:
Finally, the officer asked me to open the hood of my
Mustang so he could see my engine. I then asked if he
could open the hood on the state police car, too, which
he did for us. It was last of the Hemi engine-powered
highway patrol cars for the state police. Needless to
say, I definitely paid the ticket on time!
Ford Mustang continues its big lead
in the 2016 model-year sales race
The other story I’d like to share is from back when I
used to drag race the Mach 1 on weekends in the city
of Lincoln Park. I remember one night when I raced a
guy in a Nova and beat him, and the next thing I knew I
saw blue-and-red lights pulling over the guy in Nova. I
high-tailed it out of there quickly, and headed toward
home. I lived on street corner, so the cops knew my
car. About 10 minutes after getting home, two police
cars pulled up outside my house. You guessed it: They
were looking for me! The officers were knocking on my
back door, and woke my dad up.
My father answered the door and the cops asked him
where I was. He told them I had been home all evening
and was now sleeping upstairs. One of the officers
walked over to my car and had put his hand on hood of
the Mustang. Since it was still warm, the officer asked
mu dad who was just driving the Mustang? My father
told him that he had driven the car about a half-hour
earlier to go to the store to get some milk for my mom.
After the officers left, my dad had a long talk with me
about drag racing in the city. I don’t think it worked.
There were many more speeding tickets after that! --Bill Musser
At the halfway point of 2016, Mustang continues to win
the sales race against its segment competitors – for the
20th consecutive month. Meanwhile, sales of the Chevy
Camaro continued to slide in June, dropping under
5,000 cars for the first time in more than 18 months –
and trailing the Dodge Challenger for the second month
in a row.
In June, Ford sold 9,776 Mustangs as the sales for the
latest generation model have started to slow after two
years but with 62,965 Mustangs out the door in 2016,
the original pony car still had a big lead over its
competition. Also in June, the Challenger notched
5,479 units, giving Dodge a total of 34,607 for the year.
Camaro had another slow month, selling 4,969 cars.
But with 36,834 sold so far in 2016, that was enough to
maintain a slim lead over the Challenger.
Top quality awards go to Ford’s
Mustang, F-150 & C-MAX Energi
It’s something MOCSEM members have known for a
long time – owning a Mustang delivers a positive
ownership experience and high vehicle quality.
The latest Top Quality Impact awards from Strategic
Vision prove the point.

image, interior design and power and pick-up.
The F-150 also won the full-size truck segment and
Ford’s C-MAX Energi, a plug-in hybrid that can run in
all-electric mode or on gas, took top honors in the
alternative powertrain small vehicle segment. In
addition, Ford earned Strategic Vision’s corporate level
award. The awards were based on survey responses
from more than 39,000 owners of new 2016 vehicles
after the first 90 days of ownership.
