41 years ago on March 23rd I finally took delivery of my factory ordered Mercury Zephyr. I can still remember how it felt to get behind the wheel of that car. It was quite an experience driving the car for the first time because no dealers had any on their lots to test drive as the 1978 Fairmont-Zephyr line was Fords biggest seller. Now when I get into the Zephyr, I get that same feeling each and every time. I can still remember my first drive and the route I took in the car that I told the dealer that I would own till the day I die. Last year I told the complete story of the car from purchase through delivery so I see no need to go into that again.
Time to go out ad drive around in it for awhile.

Happy Birthday to my 1978 Mercury Zephyr and many more to come.
