Some celebrities become so important in our minds, especially after their passing, that it’s hard to comprehend that they did things we all do, like drive.
But Tom Petty, of “Refugee,” “I Won’t Back Down,” “Here Comes My Girl” and many other old rock songs, did what any red-blooded rocker would do after he started having problems. . Knock – bought a car.
Well, actually, some. But in this case we are talking about one of the most iconic, influential and outstanding cars in the world: the 65 Mustang.
“It’s an antique vehicle in its original shade of Rangoon Red over a white/red interior,” Bonhams says, adding that Petty has enjoyed this cruiser for about 20 years and continues to perform with many desirable factory options. It is estimated at between $25,000 and $35,000 when it goes up for auction this Friday, August 16, 2024.
The Mustang doesn’t wish for any advent (and neither does Tom), but a reminder to all:
The 1965 Mustang, born during the baby boom generation, was approaching the age of buying a car, and many Americans were also getting a second car.
Ford combined its compact Falcon platform with a big long-hood, short-deck body, complemented it with a big name, and introduced it at the 1964 World’s Fair, all while saturating the market with television commercials, newspaper articles, and commercials.
When Steve McQueen got involved in 1968’s “Bullitt” with his iconic Mustang car chase, the legend became permanent.
