Based in Houston, Stanley Duane Wilkinson is an established civil litigation attorney who has represented clients in a wide range of personal injury cases. A classic car enthusiast, Houston attorney Stanley Duane Wilkinson owns a number of vintage vehicles, including a 1961 Triumph TR-3 and a 1966 Ford Mustang Convertible.
Debuting in 1964, the Ford Mustang combined sleek styling with a base price of $2,368 that appealed to mass consumers. With initial sales forecast at 100,000 units annually, demand significantly outpaced expectation, and 22,000 orders were received on the first day alone. Within a year, more than 400,000 Mustangs had been sold, and the one million production mark was reached in less than two years.
The popular 1964 and a half Mustang, so called because of its release date in the middle of the year, quickly entered the popular consciousness. It was featured as a convertible in movies such as the James Bond film Goldfinger. This model turned out to be a precursor of the emblematic muscle car of the late 1960s, with race car legend Carroll Shelby completely redesigning the engine for 1965.
This improved Shelby Mustang represented the first racetrack-ready mass-produced car, as certified by the Sports Car Club of America, and was famously raced to class B Production racing victory by Ken Miles.
