Not a Mustang or even at Dearborn but still a neat pic from the same period:

Thanks for posting Ray,

i love looking at the old photos like that. I always feel somewhat sad when i am reminded of a world of yesterday, a different world, and sorry to say it, but in certain ways a better world than we live in today.

Ooooh, that station wagon oh the right hand corner of the pic!!!!!! I'd love to have one of those.

I used to have a Matchbox one just like it also in white as a kid. It was my absolute favorite for years until I lost it.


Why did I just reply to a thread that's in the garbage can?

Mike it is ok. Please take this thread and put it back - since some have posted I think it needs to be back attached to the "factory production line pics" thread. I can't do it from my phone. Ray

Yup, I noticed that wagon as well.
