Patty has been quietly on the lookout for a '64 1/2 Mustang for many years. Her grandpa had one that was navy blue and part of many childhood memories - and while he has passed away and the car has long since been sold, the happy recollections tied to "Grandpa's Mustang" have lived on. In late April of 2018, Patty's brother Mark found a posting for this car and shared it with her. We all took a trip to meet her and kick the tires. She was in beautiful shape, and for the price, we couldn't pass it up. Two days later, Cecilia was ours! She has become a little bit of a project car, with some engine work that needed to be done, and some body work that will come eventually. The plan is to eventually have her purring like a jungle cat. But she made the most perfect wedding "getaway car" (twice...thanks 'rona).
In the Autumn of 2018, we took her down to her first Oldies Night at a drive-in movie theater a couple hours away with Mark and his Gran Torino and it was so fun! It was on that trip we picked her name and we have tried to make it an annual tradition. It hasn't always worked out - either due to weather or car troubles, but we try to make it as often as we can. We hope to make many ice-cream runs with her in the summer and maybe one day start to enter her into some shows. Until then, she's our little Sunday Cruiser!
