By the time the 1965 Ford Mustang officially went on sale on April 17, 1964, it had been rolling off the assembly line at the Rouge factory in Dearborn, Mich., for about five weeks. Thousands of Mustangs had been shipped to dealers throughout North America so they would be available in showrooms on opening day. However, not all of the cars on display were actually meant to be sold to customers.
Among those was a Wimbledon White convertible with serial number 5F08F100001 that had been delivered to George Parsons Ford at the far eastern end of Canada in St. Johns, Newfoundland. That car, along with about 180 other early examples, was not meant to be sold to customers. These preproduction models were supposed to be used for internal testing and promotional purposes only.

Sunday Commentary week in review
by Jason
It’s Sunday, well actually it’s Saturday, but since my Sunday is jam packed I have to write this on Saturday. I generally don’t like doing that because I love the feel of Sunday morning looking out my window and tapping out the Sunday Commentary as I enjoy a nice glass of milk. It usually puts me in the mood for reviewing the week so let’s try it out on Saturday and see how it turns out.
We had a short week this week. Things are busy around IG these days and it means we have to be a bit choosy with our time management. However we still have plenty for you to see if you missed it.
