Many thanks to Phil DiIanni at Ogilvy Public Relations in New York for this great story. He got in touch to say that, although popular lore says that a Canadian named Captain Stanley Tucker was the first owner of a Ford Mustang, while the team was digging through the Ford archives in preparation for Mustang's 50th anniversary, they uncovered the fact that Gail Wise (nee Brown) actually purchased Ford's pony car on 15 April 1964, two days before its official introduction on. She still owns the car which is now fully restored. Read more here. |
