Bob Wright's 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback
The Wright Stuff: Vietnam Veteran’s Combat Pay buys 1967 Ford Mustang which he still owns.
Bob Wright bought a 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback upon returning home from Vietnam and has kept it since that first day of ownership in late 1966 -- for 53 years!
Bob and his Mustang have made many enduring memories over these past five decades, including dating, marriage, children, and vacation trips. This story not only reveals how our servicemen returning home from Vietnam have contributed to the Mustang’s proud product legacy, but also serves to say “thank you for your service” to all our Vietnam veterans. There are many untold stories of Vietnam vets who bought Mustangs and Shelbys when they got home, as well as those parents who held on to the Mustangs and Shelbys of sons that never made it home. By sharing Bob Wright’s story here, we hope to honor those Vietnam vets, too.
