Ford Put A Mustang Above The Empire State Building

What you are seeing is a 1965 Ford Mustang. In addition to a pair of other models, the convertible and the hardtop, the fastback was introduced. They first launched the Mustang during the New York World’s Fair on April 17, 1964. The year after that, Ford put a prototype atop the Empire State Building! They disassembled the car by tearing it down into four separate pieces. Workers then moved this beauty of a car with the use of resident elevators and took it to the top of the skyscraper. There, they reassembled the vehicle and a helicopter was used to photograph it. They then worked to reassemble the Mustang inside the building prior to its disassembly and only removed it from the building after five months.

Jim Morrison Was The Proud Owner Of A Now Missing 1967 Shelby GT 500

Jim Morrison, best known as the singer of the Doors, allegedly owned only one car in his whole life: a blue 1967 Ford Shelby GT 500. Babe Hill, the musician’s friend, even called it “The Blue Lady”. Unfortunately, the car was reported missing in 1969 and no one has any idea where it went. The Mustang has made a name for itself as one of the most famous cars in history. Ford sold more than a million units during the first two years they were producing it. It is one of the few car models that have not slowed down ever since it first hit the market. One of the priciest Mustangs sold had been a 1967 Ford Shelby GT Super Snake with a price tag worth a whopping $1.3 million.
