“In April 1964, Gail Brown was a 22-year-old Chicago elementary teacher who needed a new car. Like a lot of young people, the brand new Ford Mustang caught her eye. After trading a 1958 Chevy for $400 and borrowing the rest from her parents, she bought a Skylight Blue convertible with a 260 cubic inch V8 on April 15. 1P What’s truly notable about this story is that date. Gail managed to snag her car two days before it officially went on sale on April 17, making her the world’s first owner of a production Ford Mustang ever sold to anyone.”
