50th birthday for the Mustang today

[will e]

The old girl rolled off the line 50 years ago today. To celebrate I drove her around some. I am thinking I might take her to her first car show sometime soon too.

My car is a 1973 that rolled off the line September 28th 1972. So we celebrated her 50th year in September

Mine is an August 1971 build. It was a mind f#$@ for me when I realized that my car is a half a century old. Come to think of it, I am a few months shy of a half a century old. Happy birthdays to all on the forum!

Yeah, it's a bit of a head trip. When I turned 16 the 50 year old cars were from the depression era. Our cars were faster but those old cars were the rage. Now the new cars beat us with technology but our years of cars are popular. The cars from the 30's have seen a steep decline in value.

I took it out again today after a wash. I got a lot of show of support from all kinds of people driving all kinds of new stuff. It puts a smile on my face to see younger folks appreciating these older cars.

My Cougar is just turning 50. I'm lucky to have the build sheet showing 23rd day and diff tag that matches 951C

I am glad it is not just Lynda and I who celebrate birthdays (build days) for our vintage pony cars! heh heh. I hope you had a fine celebration, and had good weather that day to drive it a bit.
