I believe you're right, Roger. In 1962 my former employer (Braniff Airways) offered me a great opportunity to go live in New York City.

Well, actually they couldn't find anybody else dumb enough to go there.

The New York's World's Fair started in April of 1964 and the Mustang was introduced at that time and place. I lived near Flushing Meadows where the
fair was located and was able to go and gawk several times.

If anybody saw the pictures, I was that grinning skinny dude with big feet standing near the rear of the crowd.

Another interesting car shown was a turbine powered Dodge sedan. It had it's own tight little track that it circled constantly. It didn't whine or stink or do anything to indicate that it was anything but a plain ol' Dodge.
