Various Generations of Ford Mustangs:
The First Generation Mustangs- 1964 1/2 to 1973: In 1964 the first Ford Mustang come out of production in record time of 18 months from conception by the then Ford general manager, Lee Iacocca who was also actiong as the head engineer of the Ford Mustang project. The original concept of the Ford Mustang was that of a two seater roadster with a mid mounted engine type, the Taurus V4 engine from Ford Germany and the model was very similar to the later Pontiac Fiero.
Due to poor sales in the older 2 seater 1955 T-Bird by Ford Motor Company, Ford decided to remodel the Ford Mustang car into a four-seat which went on to win the winning design in an intramural design contest instigated by the Ford's GM, Iacocca.
The Ford Mustang was designed with women in mind- a car that appealed to women as well had men attracted to it.
Here is an extract of the early days of the mustang.... "To cut down the development cost and achieve a suggested retail price of US$ 2,368, the Mustang was based heavily on familiar yet simple components. Much of the chassis, suspension, and drivetrain components were derived from the Ford Falcon and Ford Fairlane (North American). Favorable publicity articles appeared in 2,600 newspapers the next morning, the day the car was "officially" revealed.[18][19] A Mustang also appeared in the James Bond film Goldfinger in September 1964, the first time the car was used in a movie.[20]" Click here for more information
More than a million Mustangs were sold in the first 18 months, ten times what was expected for that period in 1964. The car was a success.
