The article says the first Mustang was 1965. I think it was actually a 1964 1/2.

Got a picture without signing up?Alas, no. Actually, while the magazine article came with a pic of the cars (both the classic and the new version) it wasn't part of the on-line article. The picture I posted I pulled off of Google.
Perchange some gallent fellow FReeper can step in and save the day?

That is one sweet car. It has character, which is nearly absent among the 2005 cars out there.
I've owned a couple of Fords, about as reliable as any American car I've ever owned, so spare me the jokes about ANY car manufacturer. (Except Yugos...)

Not a Ford guy, myself, but I have to say Ford got it pretty dang close to right with this one.

We wanted our cars to be fun. They didn't have to be perfect. They just had to be fun .... I drive a '95 Subaru Legacy that I've had for the past six years. It's never needed repairs; not once. That's fun.

The 1965 mustang was my first car. I named is Ralphie Mustang. (sigh) A thief took it one Saturday night. Never saw it again.

Hey, I loved my Mustang--even though it was a 1970--after I had that stinking vinyl roof ripped off, took of most of the chrome, had it repainted, and installed new rear springs and air shocks.

"Nice looking car!"
Yeah, I think so, too. It has the look of the classic Mustang, but with modern aesthetics. I'm quite certain it's going to drive a heckuva lot better than the old one did, too. I mean, the original Mustang was really a re-bodied Falcon, and the Falcon was a dog on the road.
Cars just work better now. Thank goodness they made this one rear-wheel-drive. I can see the rubber burning.

I know your post will be taken off soon, but Edwards made his money by suing the organizations like the Red Cross, not "evil" corporations as you postulate. Besides, no straight people like "Breck hair" sissy boys like Edwards. So there.

Other pony cars came and went: Chevy's Camaro and Pontiac Firebird, the Plymouth Barracuda...Actually, the Plymouth Barracuda was introduced a few weeks before the Mustang.
Just a little ponycar trivia.

The white car approached a school bus, the windows flew up, and the children inside chanted "Mustang! Mustang! Mustang!"
Windows in a school bus open down, not up.
