...in the town my wife & I moved to just prior to getting married that had Mustang #6.
Sixth one off the line! Was the original buyer. He was a mechanic with his own garage so he kept it perfect, including a body restoration. (Really a repainting in the original color.)
He used to drive it in the 4th of July & Homecoming parades.
He had several classics, but this Mustang was his pride & joy.
