UPDATED -- We have been told by the Director of Communications of the Chicago Auto Show that the listing of the 2019 GT500 debut is incorrect and that Ford has informed them the vehicle will NOT be at the show.

Here's what we were told: "We assumed based on the teaser shown in Detroit that the vehicle would come to Chicago."

We've removed their website materials from this post and leaving this thread for discussion purposes.

Mark your calendars M6G readers -- the 2019 Shelby GT500 Mustang will debut next month at the 2018 Chicago Auto Show!

Shown below with a 2018 Mustang GT placeholder image, the Chicago Auto Show website lists both the 2019 Shelby GT500 and Bullitt Mustang under the "Debut Vehicles" and "Vehicles on Display."

Chicago has been the venue for many SVT/Ford Performance product debuts and you can be sure Mustang6G will be on hand at McCormick Place to bring you full live coverage of the event!

While the 2018 Chicago Auto Show media schedule has yet to be released, it's a pretty good bet we are going to see the Predator-powered 5.2-liter supercharged GT500 make its auto show debut during Ford's press conference on the first media day on Thursday, February 8.

Of course, this doesn't rule out the possibility that FoMoCo could choose to also hold a separate, private event prior to the show if it wants the world's undivided attention, and then have the full media corps see it first hand in Chicago.

We'll keep you updated as we hear more... Stay tuned! :headbang:

I like to disassemble things.
And they told me it was fake news when I mentioned it previously.

ON EDIT - Somebody decided to poop on the parade.

Will you be going to see it? Monday night the 12th is when I'll plan to attend. I'll be in Chicago for work.
