An assembly line worker at Ford's San Jose Assembly plant twisted the key for the first time and my car rolled off the assembly line under its own power (at least I think it did !!!). I'm fairly certain that he was not thinking where will this car be in 48 years?? I'm pleased to report that as the caretaker of this car for the last 14+ years, it is indeed alive and well. I think I'll take it for a spin today to celebrate this milestone.
Side note to Jeremy: Thanks for the birthday greeting on Facebook, but today is not my birthday, just my Mustang ! My age, on the other hand, is such that I still recall touring the Ford plant as a kid (neighbor's dad worked for Philco, aka Ford Aerospace) in the Fall of 1964 when Mustangs were coming off the end of the line like a PEZ dispenser shoots out PEZ! My kids would argue that I am almost fossilized, but I'm not yet ready to concede that point.......
