My First Mustang
By “Dave Parts”
I was just a kid in the third grade, I rode my bike to school and as I approached one day, I noticed a crowd of adults gathered around in the parking lot. Being suspicious of adults that caught my attention right off but they were looking at a car, an orange car. I had never seen an orange car before so I moved a little closer to get a better look. The first thing that caught my attention were the lines, it was low and sleek. The roofline went all the way back sloping down to the triple taillights.
I was born in the generation of tailfins, mudflaps and curb feelers, of rounded bulbous taillights, and gaudy chrome monster hood ornaments. I was just a kid in the third grade but I learned something that day, something the whole world came to learn, that cars could be… what’s the word I’m looking for? Cool! Yeah, that’s cars could be cool. Of course there had always been cool cars just that regular people didn’t get to drive them. Movie stars got killed in fancy exotics and then there were the Rolls Royce’s from the movies.
Then there was Mustang, the first really cool car. A car that a schoolteacher could afford and movie stars wanted to be seen in. Soon James Bond and Steve McQueen would drive themselves into history in a car that started out in life as a glorified Ford Falcon. The 50’s roundness was hammered flat, the overstuffed upholstery was replaced by the bucket seat, it was modeled to look like a sports car. It’s success made it become a sports car. Lee Ioccoa saw the first prototype Mustang Fastback and approved it for production on the spot.
My dad, God bless him was a man of his times,...
