50 Years of Mustang

Not many car models stay around for over 50 years. The Ford Mustang is the exception. Not only has it lasted for all this time, but has stayed very close to the original intent of the very first models introduced in the spring of 1964.
I was a teenager back then, and I can still remember when that exciting new car first hit the streets. It was different than almost anything else people were driving back then. It made an impression on me that has lasted over 50 years.
Over the years, I have owned many Mustangs, just about at least one of every different model they have produced. Some of them were high milage used cars, back when that's all I could afford to drive. And a few in recient times were new, top of the line, Shelby and Cobra models. They include a "96" Cobra, a 2003 "Terminator" Cobra, and a 2007 Shelby GT 500. All were driven and enjoyed, and some had performance upgrades to bring out even more power.
Last week we took delivery of a new 2015 Mustang GT. We had special ordered it back in February, so we could get the exact color and options we wanted. This new model is awesome. It is everything a performance coupe is supposed to be and more. The new styling will keep it fresh well into the future, for a whole new generation of Mustang enthusiasts to enjoy.
