I drove a used '62 Mercury Comet, but as new school teachers and getting married, we bought a new, red Mustang a few years after this story. My wife and I took the car that was a few weeks old on our honeymoon. We were so afraid that our friends would decorate it for the marriage, we had the best man hide the car before the wedding!

Those were the days! Manual transmission and no air conditioning!
