IM FARLEY BOUGHT HIS FIRST CAR, A FOUR-SPEED 1966 FORD
MUSTANG NOTCHBACK 289, BEFORE HE HAD A LICENSE. HE REBUILT
THE ENGINE, AND HE WASHED THE VEHICLE EVERY DAY. EVENTUALLY,
FARLEY DROVE THE CAR FROM CALIFORNIA TO MICHIGAN.
"IT WAS A LOT COOLER THAN MY PARENTS' FAIRMONT STATION WAGON
WITH FAKE WOOD GRAIN," HE SAYS. "IT WAS MY FREEDOM. IT WILL ALWAYS
BE MY FAVORITE."
