The car that started it all.

Iacocca was a vice president at Ford in the early 60's.
He had a vision a small sporty car based on the Ford Falcon
chassis. That vision became a reality in April of 1964
in the form of the Mustang. It carried a very affordable
base price of $2,368 and the "pony" car was
born. In the first year of production through 1965, Ford
sold almost 700,000 Mustangs and an almost equal amount
in 1966.
The
Mustang is the biggest success story in automotive history.
It has been copied, but the original pony (Mustang is
a horse) car, is still the class sales leader, thirty
five years after its introduction.
