Zahra Nealy is one of those Ford fans whose heart skips a beat over a Mustang, even though she drives a Focus. She sports the Mustang badge on her Ford Social profile, and jumped at the chance to rent a 2012 Mustang. Zahra calls the Shelby® GT500® her dream car*.

“I’ve always enjoyed Mustangs, even as a kid,” she says.

So we thought we’d find a way to return the love. The chance came recently, when we snagged her a couple tickets for a swanky, old Hollywood-themed party created by Maxim. The stars of the party? Ludacris, and the 2013 Ford Mustang. “It was an epic evening,” she says.

Check out Zahra’s night out in the slideshow, above.

A surprise invite to an exclusive event is just one of the ways we’re working to celebrate all the folks out there who like, want, drive or dream about Ford, and it won’t be the last. So, if you’ve got a fresh idea or an amazing story, share it. We’re listening.
