Ford Mustangs

Most of us, those younger than 43 (that includes me), grew up with Ford Mustangs. You probably remember those kids in high school or college, I sure do, who had that cool car. Mustangs are more than just cars, they are status symbols.

What you may not remember is that Mustangs were first introduced to us at the New York City Exibibition in 1964, the same year I was born! From what I've been told the car was instantly a highly desired car and more than 20,000 cars were purchased THE first day that they were available and nearly a half million were sold their first year on the market.

Just before I got my license I remember my dad had a 1972 Mustang convertable. I can still visualize it, a beautiful bright yellow with a long hood and a licence plate '72 PONY'. I only got to drive it a few times before he sold it, ... it really bummed me out, I thought that surely he was planning to give it to me!
