Piggybacking on John M's Mustang week

I was going to start a pony car topic, but since John Merritt started Mustang week I figured it was a good opportunity to piggyback some of my Mustangs off of his topic.  John's pictures are first class, so I won't be posting pics of cars he's already posted!  So, here's the first set, 1964 1/2 to 1965.   1966 to follow.

I do think that Ford's first compact car should be included since the Mustang shared many mechanical components with the Falcon.  After the disaster that was called Edsel and the millions of dollars spent to bring it to market the brass at Ford was a little gun shy about releasing an all-new model.  The shared components with Falcon kept cost down and lessened the risk. 

FM 1960 Falcon Corinthian White

FM 1964 1/2 convertible Poppy Red (although it looks closer to Rangoon Red to me)

FM 1964 1/2 coupe Dynasty Green

FM 1964 1/2 coupe Caspian blue modified from Dynasty Greem

FM 1965 2+2 Springtime Yellow Modified from Shelby and Red convertible

FM 1965 convertible modified to replicate mine.

I had to include this one!
