I know most of you here don't care, but; April, 17, 1964 was the original release date of the Ford Mustang to be sold from dealerships, launching the Pony Car class of automobiles. It was the car that I first took notice of as a child, and have had a lifelong attachment to. Since it's release there have been over 10 million Mustangs produced in a wide array of types and performance variants. [Mach-E's are not included, because they are NOT a Mustang. Just ask me, I'll tell you.] It still surprises me how it is in the top 10 of the longest running car name plates / series, and is still in production. In 1984 Ford was planning on shuttering the Mustang line and replacing it with a 4 and 6 cylinder, front wheel drive, rebodied, and rebadged Mazda's (626, MX-6). This was met with a tremendous wave of disdain and outright hate by the Mustang and Ford community. Which is saying a lot, because all this was done by phone, letters, and word of mouth since social media was not a thing yet. That car still happened, as the Ford Probe, which only lasted for 9 years of production. Now the Mustang is the only car that Ford produces (US), which is a shame. Anyhow - Happy Mustang Day!
