The Mustang turns 50, today.
My economics professor and mentor (NAU), Bob Eggert, is the man credited with naming the car.
He was an avid equine enthusiast and owner . . . mostly Quarter Horses.
The Mustang epitomized the spirit, strength and attitude befitting a sporty vehicle (trying to gain market share from the Corvette).
Although retired, he became an adjunct professor and shared his wealth of knowledge and components for short and long term forecasting.
Unassuming, polite, devoid of ego and an absolute genius.
I still use his economic models (and that of his Eco-Economist son) as a basis for forecasting.
He had a beautiful place in Sedona.
