The Ford Mustang is an American automobile, originally
based on the Ford Falcon compact. The first production
Mustang, a white convertible with red interior rolled
off the assembly line in Dearborn, Michigan on March
9, 1964. Introduced to the public at the New York
World's Fair on April 17, 1964, and via all three
American television networks on April 19, it was
the most successful product launch in automotive
history, setting off near-pandemonium at Ford dealers
across the continent. The original Mustang inspired
the term pony car and prompted many imitators. The
Mustang's combination of sporty design, low price,
and overall performance allowed it to sell over
one million units in its first 18 months on the
market. After a number of different generations
and redesigns, the Mustang remains available today. |
