Ford Mustang
The love affair between car enthusiasts and the Mustang lasted for over 50 years. Ever since the first Mustang was unveiled in April 1964, people around the world can’t get enough of Detroit’s favorite pony car. Over the years, Ford has produced over nine million Mustangs, making it one of the most successful nameplates in company history and the car industry. The secret of the Mustang’s appeal was to mix performance with V8 engine rumble, add a touch of luxury and good looks, and pack it in an affordable package with a long list of options (via Ford).
Of course, the image and legend have been integral to the Mustang’s appeal since day one. The first Mustang was so successful that it started a new class of cars known as pony cars and entered the history books as one of the best first-year sales of all time. Over the years, the Mustang became an automotive symbol of America and one of its finest and most respected products worldwide.
