Arrival

One of the world’s most popular cars was introduced to the public on April 17, 1964, at the New York’s World Fair. The night before, the new Ford Mustang was the pace car at a stock car race in my hometown–Huntsville, Alabama.

The Mustangs produced for the first six months or so were referred to as 1964 1/2 or early 1965 Mustangs. All of the VINs began with a 5, indicating model year 1965. The easiest way to tell a 1964 1/2 Mustang from a 1965 is that the front edge of the hood was roll under in 1965 and was not in 1964.
