Ford creates custom Mustang Mach-e for EAA charity auction honoring WWII female pilots

Ford and other automakers have a history of creating custom vehicles to be auctioned for charity. Ford has been working with the EAA (The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), based in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, that embodies The Spirit of Aviation through the world’s most engaged community of aviation enthusiasts. EAA’s 220,000 members and 900 local chapters enjoy the fun and camaraderie of sharing their passion for flying, building and restoring recreational aircraft.) for some time with the proceeds to further aviation and access to aviation by under-served communities. This year is the first all-electric custom from Ford that started life as a silver Mustang Mach-e Premium with numerous upgrades to honor the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) and to recognize their service during World War II. The WASP pilots flew aircraft to bases from their production sites. Unlike today, during WWII women could not see combat or join the regular military so they set up a support group to deliver planes where they were needed. Thirty-eight of these women made the ultimate sacrifice during their war service (hence the number 38 in the design). The Mach-e design echoes the plane above with matte black and yellow accents inside and out. Service organization and military badges complete the ornamentation. If you want to drive something different and possibly get a tax break while doing it,  contact the EAA for bidding information on the Women Airforce Service Pilots 2021 Mustang Mach-E or call 920.426.6573 or email gathering@EAA.org.
