Looks like a really good show that was in PA with over 3,100 Fords, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. Everything from the older Mustangs to the new Mustang Mach E GT to a 1965 Shelby Cobra CSX.

The higher-performance version of Ford's Bronco SUVhas more than 400 horsepower and a towing capacity of 4,500 pounds.

Starting at $70,000, the Bronco Raptor is built for off-roading and significant rock-crawling in the desert. It rides on 37-inch all-terrain tires and is nearly 10 inches wider than the base model to allow for higher-speed cornering.

The automaker called the vehicle its "most powerful street-legal Bronco ever."

2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT

The all-electric luxury Mustang Mach-E GT SUV — which has a range of 250 miles per charge — starts at just under $61,995, up from the base model's $43,895 asking price.

The performance package of the GT has 480 horsepower and uses its 634 pound-feet of torque to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds.

2022 Ford F-150 Lightning

The electric version of Ford's iconic pickup truck starts at $39,947.

The 2022 iteration has a 320-mile range, a payload capacity of up to 2,000 pounds, and a 10,000-pound towing capacity. The automaker says it can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in around 4.5 seconds with 563 horsepower and 775 pound-feet of torque.

It has vehicle-to-grid technology, capable of powering a house for up to three days. It also has a 14.1-cubic-feet frunk.

1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350

Jacques Patenaude showed off his 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 at the show.

The GT350 was a collaboration between Ford and Carroll Shelby — an auto designer and the model's namesake — and built in San Jose, California, at Shelby's shop.

Ford eventually took over the engineering and rights to their work together, so production on the GT350 moved to Michigan at the end of the 1967-model run. Ford then rebranded the vehicle as the Shelby Cobra.

1963 Ford Fairlane

Carlisle crowds got a look at a 1963 Ford Fairlane, owned by Rich Sarginger of St. Marys, Pennsylvania.

A V-8 engine often went into the two-door hardtop coupe.

Upgraded styling in the Fairlane helped Ford rival the Chevrolet Chevelle the following year, according to classic-car-valuation site Hagerty.

1965 Shelby Cobra CSX

Barry Smith of Roaring Spring, Pennsylvania brought his 1965 Shelby Cobra CSX to Carlisle.

With a 427 Shelby engine, the two-door roadster has 500 horsepower.

The Cobra CSX (which stands for Carroll Shelby Experimental) was largely what attracted Ford's attention to the designer.

According to Hagerty, the vehicle has been frequently replicated since the 1970s.

So, if they can make the F150 Lightning look like an F150, why can't they make the Mustang Mach-E look like a Mustang and not a stylized Tesla?
