His vision was a car that would seat four people, have bucket seats, a floor mounted shifter, be no more than 180 inches long, weigh less than 2500 pounds, and sell for less than $2500.00. Out of this vision, the Ford Mustang was born. Three years later, March 9, 1964 the first Mustang rolled off of the assembly line. In order to keep production costs down, many of the Mustang’s components were borrowed from the Falcon, including most of the drivetrain. With a multitude of different interior, exterior, and drivetrain options, the Mustang would be able to be ordered as plain, or as fancy, as economical, or as fast, as the buyer wanted. In general, the Mustang was designed for everyone and was advertised as “the car to be designed by you”. The Ford Mustang was heavily advertised during the latter part of it’s develop- ment. On April 16, 1964, the day before it’s release, Ford ran simultaneous com- mercials at 9:30 p.m. on all three major television networks, ABC, NBC, and CBS. The following day, April 17, 1964, people “attacked” the Ford showrooms. Everyone was in a frenzy to be one of the first to own the Mustang. 22,000 Mustangs sold the first day! By the end of the year, 263,434 had been sold. By it’s first anniversary, Ford had sold 418,812 Mustangs. 10 the mustang is, of course, one of ford’s classic and most well-known vehicles. The Mustang had made a name for itself, and was here to stay. To this day, the Ford Mustang remains one of the highest-selling sports cars in the world. Was the Ford Mustang named after a horse? John Najjar, the original designer of the Mustang I Prototype, is said to have named the vehicle after the legendary P-51 Mustang fighter plane from World War II. Although this is the “official” story, many people believe the Mustang was named after the horse. In fact, Lee Iacocca is said to have stated this several times while discussing the vehicle in interviews. 11 Mustang Owner: Gene Barnhouse 1964 1/2 Mustang Convertible 289-V8 4bbl “D” code 4 speed manual transmission.

Most men only get to experience their son’s first car once in their lives. It is a right of passage and pride that only a father can appreciate. But my father got to experience it twice, with the same son and the same car, nearly fifty years apart. And how many sons carry the memory of their father driving them to pick up their first car twice, same father and the same car? I might be the only man in the world that can say that. My father had two driving-age teenagers and another one on deck. I had just finished my freshman year in college, and sharing the family car with a brother and soon a sister was cramping my social life as well as my father’s. So he suggested a deal that summer: If I earned half the price of a car he would contribute the other half. That sounded fair to me, so I attacked my job that summer with new enthusiasm. Like always the summer of 1967 in El Paso was long and hot, but I had a job and a goal, and by late August I was ready. One Friday evening I saw that my father had circled some used car ads in the newspaper, and the one that really caught my eye was the Mustang convertible. I called the telephone number but was told the car was sold, but then the voice on the line added, “If he shows up before five o’clock.” That was my opening, so my father and I jumped in his car and headed for Fort Bliss, the local army base, and found a young man in a parking lot sitting in a beautiful Mustang convertible. It was love at first sight. With those long lines, shiny bronze body, and topless, it was something a soon-to-be college sophomore could only fantasize about. It was a few minutes before five o’clock and the young lieutenant from Maryland was getting nervous.
