The Newfoundlander who sold the very first Mustang ever produced is just back from what he calls the trip of a lifetime.

Harry Philips, a former car salesman, sold the very first Mustang 55 years ago. He wasn’t supposed to have sold the sportscar, but he’s long been forgiven for the faux pas.

He was reunited with the car, still sporting Newfoundland licence plates, at the Henry Ford Museum in Deerborn, Michigan.

He told VOCM Morning Show co-host, Fred Hutton it was an experience he’ll never forget.

Philips expected a museum full of Fords, but there were cars of every make, and historic vehicles including the restored vehicle that John F. Kennedy was shot in.

Harry’s granddaughter, Stephanie Meany made it all happen. She’s thrilled it all came together.

She’s happy to have seen her grandfather “in his glee” as he sat in the driver’s seat of the classic car.
