Mustangs Rock!

My first car was a 1966 Ford Mustang coupe with a V-8 engine and automatic transmission. It was an aquamarine color, and if I remember correctly, had a gray interior. My first husband and I purchased it in 1973 at a used car lot on Holt Boulevard in Montclair, California. The total price was about $1,000; my parents gave me $200 for the down payment and we financed the rest with monthly payments of $54. Although I put up the money to buy it, I didn't have a driver's license so couldn't drive it for almost a year after we bought it. The license plate frame advertised the Walker Buerge dealership so I think that is where it was first sold. I still remember the license plate number—SUP 874! To this day when I see one of these classic cars, I check the license plate to see if it was the one I once owned!
