The Mustang Created The Pony Car
Take one look at the Mustang’s logo and what do you see? A pony, which is the sole reason why the Mustang and Camaro are called pony cars. The Mustang created an entire segment, and it’s a segment that the Mustang still dominates today. The pony car was a completely new type of automobile at a time when they were still large land yachts.
Everything about the Mustang was fun and energetic, which made consumers increasingly favorable towards the car. The birth of the pony car changed the automotive industry forever and even though the Camaro was a popular car, it was nowhere near as important as the Mustang was to the automotive world.
