Your Take: Mustang's 50th birthday revs up memories

Talk about a great graduation gift!

Vrooming into a fifth decade of production, Ford Mustang celebrates its 50th anniversary today and Your Take decided to join the party.

We asked contributors to fire up their cameras and share some of their favorite Mustang memories with us.

Here are some of the best of our submissions!

Mustangs come to those who wait.

"I met my wife while still in High School in 1968 – the same year I bought my Chevelle Super Sport convertible instead of a Mustang. I've wanted a Mustang ever since and finally got one in 2014. Still have the same wife." -Jimbob Baird

Signed (by Carroll Shelby), sealed, delivered. This Mustang is Jeff Shreck's!

"This is my pride and joy. Modeled after the 1967 Shelby GT350 Mustang, this car was viewed, approved and then signed on the dash by (car designer) Carroll Shelby himself. This also has a special place in the my heart as it was the topic of the first conversation by my wife and I when we first met." -Jeff Shreck

Love is stronger than a Mustang.

"My wife had breast cancer in her early 30's. (She went through) surgery, chemotherapy, reconstruction, hair loss – all the bad stuff. I told her to stay strong, fight hard and when she recovers we will get a old Mustang to fix up for her. This is it, we built it together." -Randy Kegley

Baby's first Mustang!

"(I) bought and shipped this 2012 Mustang V6 premium to Tokyo few weeks before my son was born. (Now, I) would like to share the very first family photo!" -Hashimoto Hirotaka

A Mustang, 25 years in the making!

"(I) got my wife one for our 25 years together and liked it so much I went and got me one." -Tommy Youmans
