Some More on That First Ford Mustang-- Part 1

From April Hot Cars "The first Ford Mustang sold in the U.S. still belongs to the original owner" by Paul Stadden.

**  The first Ford Mustang sold in the United States went to owner Gail Wise on April 15, 1964, two days before its official release.

**  Despite being based on the Falcon, the 1964.5 Mustang was designed to be sporty and option-heavy, making it a hit on the market.

**  After a 27-year hibernation in the late 1970s, Gail's beloved Mustang was restored to its former glory in 2008, solidifying its historical significance.

The 1964 Ford Mustang launch was a major event in the car world, and Ford sold 121,538 Mustangs that year.
