Ron was also an integral part in making the museum a reality.
Remembering Ron Bramlett
The Mustang Owner’s Museum family is deeply saddened by the passing of Ron Bramlett on September 8th. Ron was a true Mustang enthusiast, businessman, visionary, and friend to so many in the Mustang community.
For more than four decades, Ron dedicated his life to the Mustang. Alongside his family, he founded Mustangs Plus in Stockton, California, in the early 1980s, building it into one of the most recognized names in the Mustang restoration and aftermarket parts world. Ron’s passion went far beyond selling parts; he collected, restored, raced, showed, and, most importantly, shared his love for the Mustang with others.
But Ron’s legacy holds a very special place in the history of the Mustang Owner’s Museum.
In 2014, Ron served as Executive Event Director for the Mustang 50th Birthday Celebration, working alongside the late Steve Hall, Founder of the Mustang Owner’s Museum. As Ron and Steve worked together to create the historic 50th Anniversary Celebration in Charlotte and Las Vegas, they began discussing how to preserve and showcase the Mustang's incredible history beyond the anniversary event.
What started as an idea for a temporary Mustang history display grew into something much bigger.
Ron and Steve realized the Mustang community needed a permanent home - a place where the cars, memorabilia, stories, and people behind the Mustang could be celebrated for generations to come.
That idea became the Mustang Owner’s Museum.
Today, every Mustang that rolls through our doors, every story that is shared, and every enthusiast who walks through the Museum is part of the legacy that Ron helped create.
Ron didn’t just help build a business around the Mustang.
He helped build a legacy around the Mustang.
We are incredibly grateful for his friendship, his vision, his passion, and his many contributions to the Mustang hobby and to the Mustang Owner’s Museum.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Cindy, the Bramlett family, and all of Ron’s friends and fellow Mustang enthusiasts during this difficult time.
Rest in peace, Ron.
Thank you for helping make the dream a reality.
Your legacy will live on every time someone walks through the doors of the Mustang Owner’s Museum.
