    =============================
    Description of Ford Mustang taken from Wikipedia "The first-generation Ford Mustang was manufactured by the Ford Motor Company from April 1964 until 1973. The introduction of the Mustang created a new class of automobiles known as the pony car. The Mustang’s styling, with its long hood and short deck, proved wildly popular and inspired a host of imitators. It was initially introduced as a hardtop and convertible with the fastback version put on sale the following year. At the time of its introduction, the Mustang, sharing its underpinnings with the Falcon, was slotted into a compact car segment."
    Obviously, I do not own this content. I repost it as a ongoing museum and tribute, a testament to the greatest generation in automobile manufacturing history, EVER.

    I was raised in Detroit about 2 miles from the Dearborn Rouge Complex. My Dad took me to the Rotunda, a domed display building, showing all the new Ford products in early '54 to take the Rouge tour. We hopped the tour bus to the Rouge. Still remember standing on a catwalk high above watching workers pouring molten steel in the engine block castings, then on to the constant pounding of the huge dies in the stamping plant and finally on to the assembly plant watching the new cars coming to life and be driven off the final line. In '68 after I mustered out of the army, I started my tool and die apprenticeship at the same assembly plant where we were building '69 Mustangs and Cougars. Worked with some guys that started there as far back as the late 20s and had some fascinating stories Great memories.

    When consumers had an attention span. 6:02. Notice the fabric interior. 1954 may have been the last year before plastic seat covers were sold universally, I believe. My uncle, a war hero, put his life savings into “Protecto Seat Covers”, a franchise that provided plastic seat covers to automobile owners with fabric seats. Because of the change over, the plastic covers were suddenly not needed. I watched my uncles slowly become a sadly different man when his business slowly failed.

    I'll always be bummed that I missed out on this era of cars. I was born long after most of these beauties had been retired. As a kid, I'd still see them occasionally roaming the streets, but my family never owned one. When I was in college, nice examples of '50s cars could still be had for pretty good prices, but I didn't have the money for them at the time. Years have passed since then and now that I have excess cash for things like this, no '50s cars in operable condition can be had for what I'd be willing to spend on a new car.

    Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars, trucks and busses including
    classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia
    :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel
    supply from 2025 on by reducing petrol stations to only one state
    operated central gas station per city or county. They even plan to
    reduce the pump speed of public gas station pumps from 20 litre per
    minute to only 2 litre per minute to punish owners of combustion
    cars....from 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned
    too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and
    gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on....
    So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They
    even created a completely new kind of crime here in Germany, called
    emissions and smoke crime :-((
