"During one 1961 performance on ABC’s Make That Spare, pro bowler Don Carter won $19,000 ($149,000 in 2014 dollars), and a brand new Ford Mustang."

Ford mustang wasn't introduced until 1964.

You're correct; the show did offer Ford Mustangs as a prize (in addition to cash), but not until 1964. Fixed! Thank you sir.
NP! it's not really a big deal, I'm just a mustang nerd. Great article.
So if you are a mustang nerd I have a question for you. Your choice of any mustang, year/color/trim/engine etc. Which one do you pick and why?
1966 coupe, with the 200 sprint, because that was the car I bought when I was 16 (although I didn't get to drive it until I was 17, because I had to fix it up).
Thanks for answering!
np, are you into mustangs, what's your favorite?
