When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

Could that be the famous "first" Mustang sold?

Sold to an airline pilot in St. Johns Newfoundland, Captain Tucker, I believe.
1959 Meteor 2 door sedan , 428 Cobra Jet 4 speed. Been drag racing Fords (mostly FEs) 47 years and counting.
Previous 50s Fords include 57 Custom 4 door, 2 57 Ford Sedan Deliveries, 59  Country Sedan, and as a 9 year old, fell in love with the family 58 2 door Ranch Wagon.

Ha ! That is hilarious !
the first stylish white Mustang convertible getting sold to a snowy and cold island in the northeast. was that meant as a joke?

you'd rather think it was going to Vegas or California or at least to the Bahamas.

If I remember the story correctly (you can probably google it) the car was never supposed to be sold to begin with. The company got it back a few years later in exchange for another one...and I believe the one in the pic now resides in The Henry Ford. (museum in Dearborn next to Greenfield Village)

that is another interesting non-US license plate on that 57 ! other cars in pic and scooter appear to be British made. 57 is LHD though. I wonder if this could have been shot on the Bahamas.
the 36 3w above is just pure class !

   What I find interesting in quite a few of these photos are people posing in front of their pride and joy. Even back then a 56 Ford wagon was just a utilitarian vehicle to get the family from point a to b, throw groceries in the back, building supplies or even go camping. They were generally just run into ground and replaced every 4-5 years anyways. I just cant see myself standing in front of our 2014 Escape with the family for picture.........maybe I should.
