According to today's guest Joycelyn Armstrong, her dad was a Ford dealer from 1970-1987. Quote, "He bought all of his children cars that were built the year we were born. I was born in 1965 and I still have my ‘65 convertible. He bought the car when I was 15 and she is my first car and still with me." Joycelyn welcome to Ford Mustang The Early Years podcast.

============

If you own a Mustang, how long have you owned your ride?:

45 years

If you own a Mustang or classic car, have you named your car? If so, what is his/her name?:

Not yet - haha

If you've made improvements to your classic car or restored it, what work have you done?:

She was restored by my brother when my dad bought it in 1980. It was powder blue and rough. She got the works. I promptly killed the motor so she got a new motor - that’s a while ‘bother story. The best upgrade we’re power brakes in the early 2000’s. I weigh a whopping 95 lbs so getting her to stop was a feat. I spun her 180 degrees to stop in a rain storm and stared directly at the guy behind me. It was time.

What plans do you have for improvements/restoration/modification of your classic car?:

Good question. I often ponder if she should get a face lift but since I haven’t, I don’t want her to look prettier than me. We look our age, and I am trying to decide if that is a bad thing. Your listeners can weigh in.

Welcome back, Ford Mustang community! On today’s episode of Ford Mustang, The Early Years, we are just two Baltimore boys taking a ride down memory lane with a car that’s been part of one family since it rolled off the lot—and a guest who’s giving it new life with some serious upgrades and a whole lotta love.

Meet Aaron Skipper, proud caretaker of Margaret, his classic Mustang named after the grandmother who picked the original color! From a tree incident in the ’90s to Shelby drops and dual exhausts, Aaron’s story is full of horsepower, heart, and heritage.

Let’s dive in and hear how this First Gen beauty is still turning heads and roaring strong!
