According to today’s guest Joycelyn Armstrong, her dad was a Ford dealer from 1970-1987. Quote, “He bought all of his children cars that were built the year we were born. I was born in 1965 and I still have my ‘65 convertible. He bought the car when I was 15 and she is my first car and still with me.” Joycelyn welcome to Ford Mustang The Early Years podcast.

============
If you own a Mustang, how long have you owned your ride?:
45 years
If you own a Mustang or classic car, have you named your car? If so, what is his/her name?:
Not yet – haha
If you’ve made improvements to your classic car or restored it, what work have you done?:
She was restored by my brother when my dad bought it in 1980. It was powder blue and rough. She got the works. I promptly killed the motor so she got a new motor – that’s a while ‘bother story. The best upgrade we’re power brakes in the early 2000’s. I weigh a whopping 95 lbs so getting her to stop was a feat. I spun her 180 degrees to stop in a rain storm and stared directly at the guy behind me. It was time.
What plans do you have for improvements/restoration/modification of your classic car?:
Good question. I often ponder if she should get a face lift but since I haven’t, I don’t want her to look prettier than me. We look our age, and I am trying to decide if that is a bad thing. Your listeners can weigh in.
