Description

The Ford Mustang is an American automobile manufactured by Ford. It was originally based on the platform of the second generation North American Ford Falcon a compact car. The original 1962 Ford Mustang I two-seater concept car had evolved into the 1963 Mustang II four-seater concept car which Ford used to pretest how the public would take interest in the first production Mustang. The 1963 Mustang II concept car was designed with a variation of the production model's front and rear ends with a ...roof that was 2.7 inches shorter. Introduced early on April 17 1964 (16 days after the Plymouth Barracuda) and thus dubbed as a "1964½" by Mustang fans the 1965 Mustang was the automaker's most successful launch since the Model A. The Mustang has undergone several transformations to its current sixth generation. The first-generation Ford Mustang was manufactured by Ford from March 1964 until 1973. The introduction of the Mustang created a new class of automobile known as the pony car. The Mustang's styling with its long hood and short deck proved wildly popular and inspired a host of the competition. It was initially introduced as a hardtop and convertible with the fastback version put on sale in August 1964. At the time of its introduction the Mustang sharing its underpinnings with the Falcon was slotted into a compact car segment.
