On March 2, 1966, in Dearborn, Michigan, the Ford Motor
Company celebrated the production of its 1 millionth
Mustang, a white convertible.

The sporty, affordable vehicle was officially launched two
years earlier, on April 17, 1964, at the World’s Fair in
Flushing Meadows, New York.

That same day, the new car debuted in Ford showrooms
across America; almost immediately, buyers snapped up
nearly 22,000 of them. More than 400,000 Mustangs were
sold within that first year, exceeding sales expectations.

On May 8, 1945, both Great Britain and the United States
celebrated Victory in Europe Day. Cities in both nations,
as well as formerly occupied cities in Western Europe,
put out flags and banners, rejoicing in the defeat of the
Nazi war machine during World War II.
