First Generation Ford Mustang 1964 1/2 to 1966.

For those not familiar with Mustang history, the model was introduced at the New York World’s Fair in April 1964. Over 20,000 cars were sold in the first week of public release.

The 1964 1/2 production Mustang followed two Mustang concept cars. The Mustang I and Mustang II. Compared to those two, the production machine was simple, but compared to every other American car then in production, except the Corvette, the Mustang was gorgeously sleek.

It’s interesting to note that while Ford chose the name “Mustang” to reflect the spirited image of the P-51 US World War 2 fighter plane named the Mustang, the public immediately associated the car with the untamed wild horse of the American West. Ford quickly adopted the image of a wild galloping horse as the badging symbol of this now classic car.
