About Us

Mustang Magazine is produced by Patterson Publishing in the long-time home of Mustang publishing, Lakeland, Florida. Our passion for the legendary Ford Mustang goes way back to the 1960s when the legend was launched, and we flogged ‘em on the street, through the ‘70s when it looked like performance was lost, into the 1980s when the 5.0 ruled the streets, and into the 1990s when the Mustang went modular.

Our publishing background goes back to early days of magazines like Mustang Monthly, Super Ford, and Muscle Car Review. Curt Patterson, company president and publisher, was the advertising executive there, and went on to launch over twenty other successful automotive titles. Curt provides big-picture direction and handles advertising matters.

Tom Shaw is the editor. Long known in Ford and muscle car circles, Tom has an eye for great Fords, and knowing how to capture them through a camera lens. Tom has logged over 25 years as writer and photographer of vintage cars, and is currently rehabbing a ’93 GT convertible.

Jason Jacobs is involved in just about all operations here — planning, promotion, important decisions, and is likely the guy you’ll talk to if you call with a subscription question. We don’t dump our calls off to some remote call center or an aggravating “press-3-now” phone menu, we handle ‘em ourselves with someone who can actually help you.

Brandon Patterson stays busy with advertiser relations and website development.

It’s all laid out by Amy Dennis, who’s sharp eye for design brings all of our planning, writing, and images onto the printed page in high style.

You can’t fake the passion. If it’s real, it shows. Take a look at Mustang Magazine and see if you don’t agree.
