Episode Summary

If I ask 100 people where they were on April 15th 1964, most wouldn’t be able to tell you with certainty. But for Gail Wise, this wouldn’t be the case. It was on that day Gail took possession of Ford’s first publicly sold Mustang from Johnson Ford in Chicago. And this just 2 days before the now 56 year old car model to the public at The World’s Fair in New York. Since then the car has seen a facelift, nip tuck and full restoration, not to mention been photographed probably more than any other 64.5 mustang. Here to share their journey into ownership are Gail and Tom Wise.
