Very cool!

note the mirror on the car it is a remote control mirror ,
what was the name of that color ? like a dark red or maroon ?

Be cool to find it, if its still around.

I didn't think they had those dual stripe white walls until the early 70's?

Wow! Check out the Door to Fender gaping.
Guess mine is not that bad after all.

is that a thong hanging from the rear view mirror?

doesn't Bill Clinton own a 67-ish Mustang?
i seem to recall him making parade laps at the Indy 500 or something like that when he was running for President.

Bush? Airborne?

err, ahem........

Wasn't he awol from the National Guard?

.......hmm,....:stirpot:.Why can't this thread just be about a President that happened to own one of the coolest cars ever produced......nope somebody just had to bring politics into a forum where it doesn't belong. Mods,if you have delete my response, I'm fine with that:yes: as I also feel the the quoted post should at least be moved or deleted as well.

"is that a thong hanging from the rear view mirror? "

Should be a cap and gown tassel b/c I hung mine up there for a short time after I graduated from HS.

.......I looked on ask.com and couldn't find anything about Bill owning a late 60's Mustang, but that's not to say that he doesn't, I just couldn't find anything saying that he did/does. It would be interesting to know if he does/did own a Mustang:yes:.

I'm with you Kurt! Makes me feel a lot better about how mine is turning out.
:)
I compared the gaps on the 4 or 5 First Gens I saw at a car show Saturday and they made me feel better as well. And these were high-dollar garage queens.

Bill Clinton did own 67 Mustang, I saw a old TV car show where event was a Mustang convention at some speedway. They found his old 1967 convertible, light blue with a white top and a 6 cylinder with a automatic tranny (if I remember right) . They got it running (tranny problems) and Bill drove it around.

Looks like Madeira Maroon to me.

my 67 was originally madeira maroon......:D

Cool picture. Almost looks like the seats have headrests.

Wow, that pic was from Jan 68 and the door gap looked like that?? Could that be that way from the factory?

SEATS : they do look to have headrest's I had not noticed that ,

GAPS : I think that we have forgot what the gap's on these cars were really like , we align them to today's standard's , but in the 60's they just were not that good , I did a 67 chevy truck a couple year's ago and had to cut mounting tabs off and move them and reweld to get stuff to line up and it was an unrestored original paint vehicle !

bill clinton did have a mustang I remember that , he mentioned it on a TV show one time , can't remember which TV show ?

Cool pic

I don't think it is him. Looks like an airborn patcch. I think they jump out of planes. He was a pilot. He graduated from Harvard in 68. And this copy from a search below looks like he didn't sign up till MAY.
But on the other hand he already lost a hubcap so maybe it is.


Six-year service obligation
On May 27, 1968, Bush signed a six year obligation to complete "48 scheduled inactive-duty training periods" each fiscal year (typically consisting of four four-hour periods during one weekend each month), plus a minimum of 15 days of Annual Active Duty Training. For Bush, as a pilot, this was typically split into periods of duty of a few days each during the year.

The doors from the factory had big gaps and were out at the latch and in at the hinges. So the point at the body line would not rub.

67for/me

The chicken on his shoulder is the 101st Airborne.
And his rank looks like Spec. 4. (E-4 Specialist today)

Googled Clinton Mustang Found this.

1967 Ford Mustang Owned by President Bill Clinton
This 1967 Mustang was first bought in 1972 by President Clinton's late stepfather, Jeff Dwire, for the President's 16-year old brother, Roger Clinton. The Clinton family lived in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Bill Clinton was in law school at Yale when the car was purchased. President Clinton acquired the car several years ago while he was serving as Governor of Arkansas. Under his supervision, the car's exterior and interior were refurbished. While living in the Arkansas Governor's Mansion, he liked to take the Mustang out for casual Sunday afternoon drives with his family.


The Mustang became very visible during the 1992 presidential campaign. On August 19, 1992, Arkansas friends hosted a birthday party with a Fifties and Sixties theme for then Democratic Nominee William Jefferson Clinton. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Chelsea Clinton arrived with the presidential nominee in the Mustang.
