This is the history about the Mustang . You may or may not know this but the Mustang is part of the American tradition. When you think about it the Mustang is broken down into four generations. Let's see the date was April 17, 1964. Intermediate sized muscle cars, with big block engines were gradually replacing the full-sized muscle car. Lee Iacocca, Ford's General Manager at the time, had always envisioned a small sports car to be the next hot item in the street wars. Ford decided that instead of improving their lackluster intermediate, they would do the competition one better and introduce a whole new breed of automobile, the pony car. Originally designed as a two seater in the "European tradition, Iacocca realized that success depended on volume sales. Therefore the Ford Mustang was introduced as a 1965 model that was based on the compact Falcon model to lower production costs. It came with an obligatory back seat and a multitude of options that would give the buyer opportunity to customize their purchase, and generate extra points for Ford, which was good for the buyer and the company.
