Loyd's BONUS video-clip, # 13!!!--- A classic ad for a classic car!!

 Being that I'm a MAJOR classic Mustang  freak, coming across this vintage 1968 commercial was like I'd found a long-lost hidden treasure!! The father of the Shelby Mustang himself, Carroll Shelby--- talking about (and driving!!) my favorite pony-car!! The '67-'68 models have ALWAYS been my personal favorites,by the way!! More on that  below!! Now, let's check out this CLASSIC ad---




Now, being that  I've NEVER been wealthy in any kind of way, and certainly not a millionaire--- I've NEVER came even CLOSE to owning a Shelby Mustang!! Just a 'dream car', as far as I'm concerned!!  

Heck, I've only owned one 'classic'-model 'Stang--- a VERY raggedy, rusted-out '67!! That was when I was a mere 19 year-old!!! TOO young, and too nearly-broke to fix it up like it needed to be!! 

I was as proud as I could be of it though!! This was despite seeing the road pass underneath me, while driving---through a nearly 3-inch hole in the floorboard!! It was a CLASSIC 'Stang, and it was mine though!!! Rusted-through spots and all!!! 

I guess owning that ol 'Stang, along with the couple that my dad owned over the years before that, is what's been at the core of my life-long love of the classic Ford-four-seater!! Numerous models,toys and replicas of various Mustangs, not to mention HUNDREDS of magazines and books, in the 'Loydster collection',all testify to it being MORE than just a passing interest, that's for SURE!!
