How a Dinner Night Served Up a Chance to Meet the Mustang's Original Designer

In this episode, recorded in the lounge of the Halderman Mustang Museum in Tipp City, Ohio, John and Mike sit down with a longtime local Mustang owner and fan to hear the story of how she came across a random chance to meet the late Gale Halderman, the principal designer of the original Mustang. Carol Ratermann had shared her “How I Got to Meet Gale Halderman” story with John after Gale’s daughter, Karen, had hosted a Cruise-In event at the Halderman Barn Museum in early May. Carol revealed that years ago, she happened to enjoy a dinner night out with her husband at one of Gale’s favorite local restaurants, the Carriage Inn in nearby Enon, Ohio, at the same time Gale was there dining with a group of friends. Wait until you hear how seeing Halderman’s famed Concept Sketch on display at the eatery had sparked a conversation with the restaurant owner and brought an unexpected introduction. We hope you enjoy hearing Carol’s memorable tale as much as we did – because Everyone Has a Mustang Story. It’s just that not everyone gets the chance to meet a Mustang celebrity as historically significant as Gale Halderman. Our thanks to Karen for inviting Carol out to the Barn Lounge to meet up with us – and our thanks to all of you who click “Like” and “Subscribe” to the Mustang Owner’s Podcast! #mustang #ford #fordmustang
