When the innovative and trendsetting Ford Mustang automobile legend was introduced to the market, nobody expect its extraordinary increase in sales and fame to automobile enthusiast. It was Jon Najjar and Robert Eggert responsible to make them happened. Ford Motor Company introduced Mustang at the New York World’s Fair in April 17, 1964. Mustang was new design base on the combination of Thunderbird and Ford Falcon.Under the leadership of Ford Company president Robert McNamara Ford had pioneered such concepts as automobile safety and the conceptual marketing of “economy cars” rather than the “big boats” that the market leader G.M. ( General Motors) was famous for. The Ford Falcon was Ford’s very successful economy car model. Essentially the Mustang was built on this proven platform. Ford’s costs and time needed to bring the Mustang to market were little in comparison to a totally brand new product. Production problems as well were not an issue. Hence Ford could readily introduce a very reasonably and low priced sporty product for “60’s” generation and ramp up production in a snap.
After the introduction of its first release in April 17, 1964, Mustang had a new look when Larry Shinoda joined the company. His venture to Ford Company gave way to Sports Roof Mustang models that has three-tail lamps for better rear view vision. In the decade of the 1970’s, Ford created heavier and bigger version of Mustang autos. It uses Knudsen design having Torino or Fairline sheet metal. Unfortunately, this model didn’t last long in the market because most customers preferred fuel miles per gallon gasoline saving cars. On the other hand, Mustang 351 Cleveland was the most popular car during this year due to its special features like hidden shield wrappers, bolt-on faade, wraparound instrumentation, and incredible engine.
Ford produced another amazing models name “Mustang II.” It was the smaller design of the old 1965 Mustang which has several new features like embedded bolt-on faade and sub-frame. Although it was under-powered, it saves fuel which made it to become popular in the past when fuel source was least.
King Cobra was the enhanced model of Mustang II. It didn’t become more popular than its origin because Ford immediately introduced the 1979 models with Fox platform. The interior can accommodate four people at the rear sit, bigger trunk, as well as the engine. In addition, it was used in the Indianapolis 500 Pace Car which result Ford to produce another 10,000 replicas.
In the 1990’s, Ford released enhanced Fox-4 models which heavier with less power. Ford also released more enhanced engines like 4.6L SOHC and DOHC V-8s which was used in the GT and SVT Cobra. No one knows what will be the next 2010 Mustang model. It can be an enhanced 2005 SN197, which is said to be by more than one Ford Mustang aficionado perhaps the safest mode ever of the rat pack.
