Vintage Dealer Photos: ’65-’66 Mustangs – At Deliveries, Displays And Showrooms

The Mustang’s arrival was an era defining event; so much so that over half a century later, we are still talking about those early models on a regular basis. Even non-car people need hardly an introduction to the car. So, how about taking a look at them, as they arrived in dealers back when new?

The photos in this collection more or less cover the wide range of folks who lusted after these from early on; they’re a quite varied lot, and speaks to the way the model appealed to many since its dawn. Most photos, regrettably, are hard to track down location wise, though details have been added when available.

We’ll start with the older lady at Jenkins Motor Co. above, presumably getting the keys to her hardtop.

Another key exchange, now for a convertible. In the showroom, some ’65 Falcons seem to be visible.

A giveaway of some sort, with a Mustang convertible and a live mustang, displayed at Johnny Parsons Ford in Milford, OH.

We showed this image recently, but these early Mustangs at a lot deserve a place in this gallery.
