I saw a “where it it now” type of TV show a few years back and it showed the first mustang off the assembly line. A traveling salesman had bought it. Ford tracked it down and was surprised it was still around. They bought it, restored it and put it in the Henry Ford Museum.

There was a famous pancake house in Detroit. Lee Iacoca said he knew he had a hit when he drove by one day and there was a sign in the window that said “Our hotcakes are selling like Mustangs”.

I am not questioning the story of the first Mustang, but it kinda surprises me that it is a convertible. I remember the Mustang's arrival well. In my memory, the convertible was about a month or so later and the V8 even later. Does anyone out there in Freeperland know?

Also, (off topic) I found this question interesting. My mechanic asked me: "How many letters in the Ford emblem?"

My first car was a 64.5 white Mustang. Inline-6, 3 on the column, no synchro in first gear.

Not exactly sporty, but a great first car.

I can still remember the first Mustang I ever saw.It was a funny”orange”color and parked across the street from my school(St.Monica’s High School/Santa Monica).This is 1964.
