Mustang forever

Has there ever been a pony car. Or car for that matter, that stirred the soul of countless generations as the Ford Mustang has? What it did in the first two years of its inception was actually unheard of and possibly unparalleled. In fact, I was born three years after its first year of introduction to an unprepared yet incredibly ready public.

I have fond memories of our first family Stang. My dad’s 67 coupe. It seemed like he couldn’t stop talking about it. His first car was a Hillman. He wanted one of those sporty Triumphs yet opted for the more practical car. I suppose the Mustang allowed him to get the best of both worlds. And like many he was drawn to the coupe. The most popular body style. That was when we were living in Mexico City. I still recollect seeing that green beauty in the old foto albums de Familia (that was a poor attempt at Spanish).

Could he have chosen green pony since he was drawn to BRG?
