Boyhood Fan to Lifelong Enthusiast, Paul Mickelson Interview

Ford Mustang The First Generation, The Early Years Podcast

From childhood enthusiast to lifelong owner of his Classic Mustang. Paul Mickelson, I know I am excited to hear the rest of the story, welcome to Ford Mustang The Early Years Podcast.

Paul’s guest request: I believe my story is unique to Mustang ownership. I have an early (64.5) D code coupe with a 4 speed. Rally Pak and console. It was ordered by my father for a Libby who traded cars every 7 years. I was 9 in 1964. When she took delivery of her new Mustang I was at the dealership. In my best big boy voice I mentioned that when she traded her Mustang in 7 years I would be 16 and planned to buy it. Well if you’re interested in the rest of the story I’d be happy to share.
