The Stories Of Captain Stanley Tucker And His Ford Mustangs: Serial Number 1 And Serial Number !

Captain Stanley Tucker (May 12, 1931 June 10, 2008) was a Canadian airline pilot for Eastern Provincial Airways of Newfoundland, Canada. Tucker was the original owner of two milestone Ford Mustangs within the cars first two years of production. Serial Number One Before the car officially hit the sales floor on April 17, 1964, thousands of Mustangs had already been rolling off the assembly line for the past five weeks and getting shipped out to dealerships all over. The car was one of approximately 180 pre-production cars built at the Rouge between February 10 and March 5, 1964. These initial cars served two purposes: 1. They eased Ford into full production by familiarizing workers and supervisors with the build process. 2. They formed a batch of physical cars that could be shipped to every major Ford dealer in time for the April 17 launch. Logically, the first cars built were sent to the farthest dealers hence Serial Number One wound up 2,180 miles from Dearborn in St. Johns, Newfoundland. (Twelve of these pre-production cars, incidentally, went to the New York Worlds Fair for use in Fords Magic Skyway ride). Mustang Serial Number One in particular was painted Wimbledon White with serial number 5F08F100001. The first-ordered Mustang was shipped to the Ford of Canada sales district and was taken on a nationwide tour of Ford dealer showrooms all across Canada ending at George Parsons Ford, a dealership perched on the eastern edge of the continent in St. Johns. 0:00 - Intro ❤️Music❤️ DreamHeaven - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjQ44COnIK-vsbBw8jEm1zA ❤️Subscribe❤️ ?sub_confirmation=1 ❤️About Us❤️ Old Times Photos Revives past stories that need to be shared with You.
