Last of the Line: 1960 Edsel Ranger

Easy Drop-Top Project: 1964 1/2 Ford Mustang

And the debate continues. Was there ever a 1964 ½ Ford Mustang? Technically, no, as Ford titled all Mustangs built from early 1964 to late 1965 as 1965 models (in other words, pre-1966). But if you bought one before… more»
