22,000 Mustangs Were Sold On The First Day
The Mustang was the car that fueled the pony car segment and essentially started the whole movement. This is something that Camaro owners always have to live with, because if it wasn’t for the Mustang, no one would have the Camaro either. The idea behind the Mustang was to build a lightweight, consumer-friendly car.
It ended up being a hit with men and women and the car was one of the biggest hits that Ford ever had. The car inspired a new generation of drivers who wanted something fun and lightweight to drive. The fun cars that we have today can all trace their roots back to the Mustang’s successful run.
