From Hammink Performance Day to the Mustang Museum

A standout Belgian Ford Mustang at the Hammink Performance event in the Netherlands

At this year’s Hammink Performance Day in Oudleusen, one car brought more than just attention, it brought a story that connects two countries and a shared passion for American cars.

Local coverage from RTV Vechtdal reported the appearance of a “famous Belgian Ford Mustang” from Zolder, while other reports described the event as one of the strongest American car events in the Netherlands, filled with Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers, and other V8 icons.

What made this moment special was not just the car itself, but its timing.

From Hammink Performance Day to a Mustang museum in Belgium

Just days before the event, Adelbert Engler (64) officially opened a unique Mustang museum in Heusden-Zolder.

The museum, built from his former garage, showcases:

  • 20+ full-size Ford Mustangs
  • More than 12,000 miniature Mustang models

According to multiple reports, the Belgian Ford Mustang seen at Hammink Performance Day is expected to be displayed in this museum alongside the rest of the collection.

A lifelong passion turned into a Mustang museum

The story behind the museum is just as powerful as the cars inside it.

Adelbert Engler’s passion for the Ford Mustang began at the age of eight, when he experienced his first ride in a Mustang, a moment that would shape decades of collecting, racing, and dedication.

Over the years, his collection grew from a few model cars to:

  • Over 5,000 miniatures (2016)
  • More than 9,000 models (2021)
  • And now 12,000+ pieces in 2026

Combined with his full-size cars, the result is one of the most remarkable private Mustang collections in Europe.

More than an event, a shared passion

Hammink Performance Day continues to grow as a leading American car event in the Netherlands, bringing together enthusiasts from across Europe.

Moments like this show exactly what the community is about:

  • passion
  • history
  • and the unmistakable sound of American horsepower

Podium!

As great as Saturday went, as much as a strugle we had on Sunday, fighting the car and myself. But with a bit of luck still had a great result in the end.
Together with our LS minded neighbour Renes_cstmcars we both made it to the finals for the first time, and put both of the LS’s on the podium, so that was really cool!
All of this made possible by Oliehandel.nl ‘s great lubrication, Hptunerseurope ‘s custom tune, and Fuel Card’s great fuel! Big thanks to all!
