(FoxNews) – An original Ford Mustang claimed to be the first hard-top example is
coming up for auction. It will go under the hammer at Mecum’s Indy 2017 auction
in mid-May.

This is a 1965 Mustang with VIN ending in 00002, meaning it comes after the 1965 Mustang convertible with VIN ending in 00001 currently sitting in The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. Both of these were pre-production examples,
hence the 1965 model year. The first production examples were famously sold
as 1964½ models.

(FoxNews) – Glen Campbell’s wife Kim (shown above) says Alzheimer’s disease
has robbed the 80-year-old singer’s ability to play guitar. She said her husband occasionally breaks into a solo air guitar routine, which she says is "kind of fun."

Kim says Glen continues to sing, although the words are gibberish and "it’s not
a melody that we recognize, but you can tell that it’s a happy song and he has
a song in his heart," so that brings her great comfort.

Glen Campbell was diagnosed with the brain-ravaging disease in 2011 and
went on a world tour afterward. The singer known for such hit songs as
"Rhinestone Cowboy," ”Wichita Lineman" and "Southern Nights" was moved
to a long-term care facility in 2014.
