Donald N. Frey, designer of the Mustang, dies at 86

Donald N. Frey

Donald N. Frey, the engineer who spearheaded the design and development of the Mustang, the spunky, stylish, affordably priced “pony car” that the Ford Motor Company rolled out in the mid-1960s in one of the most successful car introductions in automotive history, died March 5 in Evanston, Ill., where he lived. He was 86.

The cause was a stroke, his son Christopher said.

“Don’t tell Glen, but we got them to put a picture in here of him in a speedo!” “He’ll kill us if he finds out!”

Spring Display at Crossroads Ford

The Heart of Carolina Mustang Club held their Spring Display at Crossroads Ford in Cary on Saturday March 27th. There were over 40 members who brought out their cars on a chilly but otherwise beautiful morning. Some milled around the lot, doing some last minute cleaning or just chatting and renewing acquaintances, and others tried to beat the cold by checking out the massive indoor showroom. As always there was free popcorn, coffee, and soft drinks. Everyone took the opportunity to check out the club display that is nearing completion. In addition to the many new Fords for sale inside the building, there is always a collection of classic cars and trucks that makes a visit to Crossroads somewhat akin to a trip to an automobile museum, or at least down memory lane. At lunch time we were treated to some Domino’s pizza. Brian Soles brought the new club shirts, and as usual, he did an outstanding job. The shirts look great. Brian was last seen taking a road test with his wife Beth and our club contact Steve Carson in a brand new Ford Flex. Glenn Roberts handed out member packets, membership cards, and antenna flags. We picked up several new members as well. Overall, it was another great day for the Heart of Carolina Mustang Club.

A Day At The Races

hcmc-drag-day-072

Drag racing is considered by many to be the quintessential muscle car show down. 2 powerful machines, side by side, mano a mano, (or womano a womano).

Born on the back roads of America in the post World War II years, drag racing’s roots were planted on dry lake beds like Muroc in California’s Mojave Desert, where hot rodders had congregated since the early 1930s and speeds first topped 100 mph.
