Follow this link and click the "Register" button (doesn't matter if you're not actually attending the event).

Then choose the "No Vehicle Registration" and you'll get a drop down list of options, one if which is the Goodie Bag. You can choose to have it delivered for $15 if you're not able to collect it in person

They're not saying what's in there, but whatever it is, it'll become collectible

Thank you sir! I will definitely be ordering. Altho I wish they would say what is inside, I'll roll the dice with this one.

Looks like this has been made with Ford's blessing...........at least Henry Ford III appears in an interview. Hopefully it'll be on sale at the 50th events

Pretty cool. Did you guys have those made or Ford is selling them?

I would buy one if I can find it with US flag.

Damn busy week.

This is what I would have expected for the hoopla surrounding the actual reveal of the car. But now events like that on April 17 in Flushing Meadows seems a bit like going through the motions for the sake of repeating history. I'm not complaining, the more the merrier, but just saying a few timely events might have worked better.

So is the April 17 event in lieu of a press conference at the auto show?

Has anyone received thier 'goodie bag' yet? Just wondering since I paid for shipping and have not gotten it yet. It's been about 4 weeks now. Are the entry tickets being shipped at the same time?

Entry tickets are for collection only, I thought (Mandelay Bay hotel on the 16th)........I would expect goodie bags to be delivered on or after the 17th (so as not to spoil the surprise for those picking them up on the 16th)
