This Mustang GT has been in the family for 48 years

There’s a story behind every car and this Ada vehicle has lots of stories to tell. It’s Bob Simmons 1966 Mustang GT.

For starters, this car has been in the same family for over 48 years.

The Icon found it on display earlier this month at the Bluffton Lions Club Festival of Wheels.

This Mustang has a two-generation family ownership. It was originally purchased new in 1966 in Upper Sandusky by Bob’s father-in-law, Loren Schoenberger, now 94.

Bob says the car was driven by his mother-in-law from 1966-1995. It was also driven by the Schoenberger’s daughters, Jill and Jan, during their high school years.
