NEW COLUMNIST
FOX Mustang Magazine is excited to welcome Terry McCoy as our
newest columnist. Michigan-based Terry will write about matters of
originality for Fox Mustangs, drawing from his extensive research and
ownership of low-mile and no-mile Fox Mustangs, collection of Ford literature, visits to the Dearborn plant during Fox Mustang production,
and network of buddies and pals who worked there. Terry is very precise and careful not to overstate or mislead in how he writes and
speaks. We’ve already got a whole year’s worth of topics for him to
write about, but if you’d like to suggest a topic or ask a question, drop
us an email.
BLUE TOP
Speaking of Terry McCoy, during some recent
hang-out time at the Silver Springs Mustang
Roundup, Terry called our attention to Mynor
Holmgren’s ’89 5.0 LX con vertible. What caught
Terry’s eye was the unusual color combination.
The exterior was Dark Blue Metallic (code 7N) and
the convertible top was Dark Blue (code R). Both
were factory original, right down to the Carlite
logo in the lower right corner of the original rear
window.
FROM THE FLIGHTLINE
Reader and longtime bud Bill Hamilton
Jr. called our attention
to this article on the
U. S. Air Force website
that shows pics and
offers a little more info
on the U-2 chase cars.
The link is: www.af.
mil/news/story.asp?
storyID=123286352.
The Mustangs are replaced by lesser cars, but
there are some good quotes from the pilots.
There are also some good videos on YouTube,
including a 2:23 clip from the Air Force, a typically
entertaining 4:06 spot from Top Gear, and a compilation or two of less-than-textbook landings, driving
home the U-2’s reputation for bad landing manners.
CORRECTION
In Issue 1, the dusty Mustang
shown on page 10 of You Gotta
See This is either an ’87 or ’88
model, not a ’90 as per the info
provided to us.
