Harrel McKinney enjoys his car since 45 years 
Born in 1940 Harrel was just 24 and had just graduated from the Troy university 2 years earlier, when he was in need of a new car. Being married and having already a 2 1/2 year old daughter, his first thought was a family car and they almost bought a Rambler Ambassador, but he remembered his Ford dealer just in time, where his brothers had bought cars and test-drive a Fairlane 500. Harrel wasn't too much impressed and about to leave, but in the last minute was shown a stack of new Mustang brochures that had just arrived. Harrel thought a few moments about it and bought one instantly out of the brochure. His choice fell on this white Hardtop with a 260cui engine and a Palomino interior. Built on May 14th, 1964 and delivered on May 21st, 1964 to his dealer. The sticker price was 2677$, but Harrell got a special deal due to his brothers relation and paid just 2441$. Harrell enjoyed the car for over 25 years, until he spent his car a restoration in 1989.
Since then he is driving it occasionally and
showing it on special occasions. This time it was certainly one of them. As 1
of 9 original owners Harrell McKinney was invited to the 45th and the group
presented their cars just in front of the Barber Motorsports museum. |
