This car was a special order from a W.W. White (the only other owner) and was purchased at Alderman Ford in Indianapolis on 2-18-1965.  I have receipts for anything major ever done to the car.  I also have the original owners manual, owners identification card, warranty card, and welcome letter from Ford for purchase.  I took ownership in 1986.
