Howard, just one question, what’s so special about that other Mustang being displayed with yours? Maybe it’s the same year, but not a fastback or sporty looking to compare it to yours, what was there to compare? Thanks for the email reply on that website I sent you. Enjoy the rest of the shows this summer, you might not be getting any comments from me for a while, the big move is coming up, I’ll try to keep up with what’s going on the best I can, so until then enjoy displaying and driving your ONE OF ONES.

Ted, great question. The blue Mustang next to the Mustang III was just purchased by one of the midshipman and was useful to compare the differences between the two automobiles.
Ok, it!s a normal ordinary Mustang, nothing to compare to yours, for style, a normal every day car,nothing special, that’s the only difference, I,m not knocking it, I like the car, but it’s nothing to talk about compared to yours,as I told you,I had one and loved it,it was my first new car. Maybe I shouldn’t even say this,but I think the midshipman just wanted to have his car with yours,it made him feel honored and proud of himself and car,that’s how I would feel if I could have chance to do that with the same type of car.
Did Caterpillar ever REALLY make such a truck? Sure looks like it’s cobbered up from a tractor and a Mack! YAY - an Amphicar <http://sbiii.com/automot1.html#amphicar>! {Lighten up, Ted!} Sam, III

I believe it is a Mack truck with a Caterpillar engine.
