Käthe Lowe has been the proud owner of a 1966 Ford T-5 fastback since November 1965 and still drives it regularly today

What is a T-5 you might ask?  It's a +Ford Motor Company  Mustang sold in Germany in the 1960s and 70s when truckmaker Krupp owned the rights to the Mustang name.

Believe it or not, the 1989 Probe was not the last time +Ford Motor Company considered a front-wheel-drive Mustang

Before finally settling in on the heavily revised Fox platform for the 1994 model, they considered using the Escort as a basis for a Mustang. Surprisingly they couldn't find a way to squeeze the upcoming 4.6-liter V8 under the sloping hood.?

The +Ford Motor Company #Mustang wagon is an idea that just won't die*

As a fan of Mustangs and wagons I'm just fine with that. The Mustang wagon goes back to the mid-60s when Ford designers came up with numerous proposals, several of which even became running prototypes

Reshared post from +Automobile Magazine

Strand Craft USA, a company that normally produces high-end yachts, has ambitions to create a one-off station wagon version of the Shelby GT500. Do you think they should build it?

Places like the Tower of David  in Caracas, are demonstrations of the resilience of the human spirit

When the flow of money stops, the masses somehow come together, and make it work anyway. No one should have to live this way in a place like this, but the fact that they can is remarkable.?

If you are in the vicinity of Ypsilanti or Ann Arbor and you're looking for some great food stop in at Beezy's Cafe

Beezy's  if 5 years old this week and commander in chief Bee Roll sat down for an interview with Mark Maynard. Bee's food is awesome, the prices are reasonable and it's a locally owned business.

http://www.beezyscafe.com/

Bee Roll reflects on Beezy’s at the five-year mark… “If we want the world to be different, we have to start creating that world.”
As interviewed Bee Roll, the owner of Beezy’s, when she was first opening her restaurant on Washington Street, and again as she celebrated her first anniversary, I felt compelled to check in once again when I was reminded that her five year anniversary was approaching… I hope you enjoy the interview. MARK: So, has it really been five years? BEE: Yeah, it has. Wow. Time flies and all that. MARK: How will you be celebrating this huge milestone? …

Airplane geeks looking for an interesting place to stay in Stockholm should check out the Jumbo Hostel

After more than four decades in service, many of the early Boeing 747s have been retired. Among those most have been scrapped or parted out while others have found new uses including a 747-200 built in 1976. This particular decommissioned jumbo has had its engines removed and the interior has been converted into a 76-bed, 29-room hostel that is parked on the perimeter of Arlanda airport in Stockholm, Sweden.
