Classic Drivers (http://www.mustangmonthly.com/featuredvehicles/mump_1012_daily_driven_ford_mustangs/index.html)Talk about tenacity. Imagine driving a classic Mustang daily or thousands of miles annually to car shows, cruises, and even cross-country trips. Thanks to the incredible advances in terms of comfort, fuel economy, and reliability, we're less inclined these days to strap a classic Mustang to our backsides for anything more than a Sunday drive. Why? Because '65-'68 Mustangs are just not as comfortable as what most of us are accustomed to driving today. Those rock-hard bucket seats were exceeded in misery only by the posterior-numbing Camaro and Firebird buckets of the era, which were even harder. Road boom, driveline noise and vibration, and that miserable clunk of a coilover-upper arm front suspension are what ran a lot of us out of classic Mustangs as regular drivers. Now when we get behind the wheel, we are stunned that we ever drove one daily. Automobiles have come a long way in 40 years.
