In March of 1964 I was a young (age 24) man who had graduated from college (Troy University) two years before. I had a good job working in Montgomery, AL and a wife and a 2 1/2-year-old daughter. I began looking for a new car since what we had was about used up. My wife (Peggy) and I went to Enterprise, AL where we lived while I finished college. I knew a salesman at one of the dealerships and I almost bought a Rambler Ambassador. We then went to Hartford, AL where I knew the men who owned the Ford dealership. I drove a Fairlane 500 and was not impressed. Just before I was leaving, one of the owners told me had just gotten some brochures of a new car Ford was introducing called "Mustang". He went into his office and came out with a brochure (of which I still have one) and after I salivated all over myself and popped my eyes back into my head, I ordered one. There was one in the brochure, Wimbledon White/Palomino interior and that is what I ordered with a 260 cu. inch V-8. It was born May 14, 1964 and I took delivery on May 21, 1964. This (I think) was a rarity, the sticker price was $2660 but because the dealer knew me and several of my brothers were customers of his, he sold the car to me for $2440. It drove out perfectly, and I have loved it ever since. I had it restored in 1989 and now just drive it occasionally and on special occasions.
