Timeless Classics

The Ford Motor Company unbridled the Mustang automobile on April 17, 1964 at New York’s World Fair. It is the car maker’s second oldest nameplate still in production. The car’s name came from the World War II P-51 Mustang fighter plane, and its sports car-like design featured a long hood and short rear deck. I remember receiving a red plastic Mustang toy car for Christmas and Sandy remembers sharing a red Mustang peddle car with her sister Susan. Granddaddy Roe recently said his favorite car was his 1966 red Mustang. When approaching this ride at the Apple Festival the boys had several options; a dune buggy, a bus, a jeep and a hot rod, but they chose the Mustang.
