We have had cool front arrive here in north Texas this weekend,
and it is perfect weather to put your convertible top down. I spotted this cherry red mustang parked at a bakery where Tom and I go for coffee (and to split an amazing cinnamon roll).
I always think of my youngest daughter when I see a convertible. She commented, when she was about five years old, that she wanted one of those cars with the lid off.
It also brought back another memory. I too had a Mustang. It was the first new car I ever purchased (all by myself). It was a 1967 Mustang GT Aspen Gold.
This is a better picture that I found online. I by the way would never buy such a car these days. Especially not a two door. This model was a stick shift with wide tires and it was probably more than I could handle. What was I thinking?
Do you remember your first car ?

i've never had a convertible (well, my husband did). but i still drive a stick-shift. :)
ReplyDeleteA cool Mustang!
ReplyDeleteYou must have looked the coolest girl in town with that car.
ReplyDeleteThe first car we had after we got married (I didn't ever own one myself), was a Jaguar xke 2 seater in butter yellow. We had to sell it when I got pregnant with the twins because I couldn't fit inside!
ReplyDeleteCool Janey,driving in your own car. I have never had a car, even no driverslicense :)
ReplyDeleteDearest Janey,
ReplyDeleteThat was quite an achievement for having bought this all on your own!
Well, times have changed and that is obvious in design and everything. I too have all my life driven a shift stick, still my 19-year old cute RAV4 has a shift stick, and we both enjoy our automatic transmission!
No convertible, both of us never...
Fond memories!
Hugs,
Mariette
