Steve McQueen’s ‘Bullitt’ Mustang gets extended stay at Tacoma car museum
If you still haven’t visited the car museum in Tacoma to see a bit of Steve McQueen movie history, there’s still time.
LeMay-America’s Car Museum announced Friday that its Bullitt exhibit, featuring a 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390 Fastback used in the movie “Bullitt,” starring McQueen, now will run until July 14.
The display launched in December at the museum, 2702 E. D St., in Tacoma.
“We’re thrilled that the owner of the Bullitt Mustang agreed to let us display it through July 14,” said America’s Automotive Trust CEO David Madeira in a news release. “It’s an honor to have such a significant vehicle, the 21st listed with the Historic Vehicle Association’s National Historic Vehicle Register, available to our guests.”
The car will be out of the museum for a bit of that extended time — May 28 through June 4 — to be featured in the Friends of Steve McQueen Car and Motorcycle Show in Chino Hills, California.
