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

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!

"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

"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

"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 t! o 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

@yourtake when I was a little kid, my Aunt the nurse, bought a '64 pony. It was cream colored/pale yellow. I clearly remember it.
