Released at the New York World's Fair in April 17, 1964, the Ford Mustang was produced by Ford Motor Company in which it became phenomenal due to its stylish design and looks. Ford Mustang was made with resemblance of Thunderbird and Ford Falcon. This was no accident. Ford Motor Company had been revitalized by Ford president Robert McNamara. Mr. McNamara. Robert Strange McNamara later went on to became the infamous Secretary of Defense blamed for managing "body counts " and stats as Secretary of Defense , under Presidents Kennedy and Johnson . There is little doubt about the fact that McNamara was a pioneering "stats guy", as opposed to running a business (or war), by the seats of your pants. Robert instituted statistical management during Word War 2, and created the whole "whiz" kid group that revolutionized US business after the war. Indeed the very name badge derived from "Mustang" admiration of the US World War II P-51 Mustang Fighter Plane. However to drive home the point, this label was not blindly applied by "yes men management", like you might find at other auto industry market leaders in the US at the time., Robert J. Eggert was in-charge of the company's new model names. He only included "Mustang" on his research and proceeded only to adopt it after extensive testing and evaluation by special focus groups and testing with potential consumers.
Ford Mustangs were overall remarkable for its pony style car models but to and "Mustang Guys", it seems that no matter what every year new models got heavier and larger. The Ford Motor Company designers assigned to revive the Ford Mustangs listened. They went "back to basics" and essentially were forced to bring back to the original 1964 model after receiving several suggestions or what might be considered angry mail from Mustang enthusiasts and Mustang Sport Car Clubs members.There were no bones about it. Ford and Mustang car guys were another breed not to be confused with likes of other auto maker's products for example Pontiac & Chevy wannabees. After all these are premium classic 1960's automobile products. Its not as if you are shopping for a run of the mill Ford F150 crew supercab or Focus on a Costco special event special
After joining the Dearborn based Ford Company, Larry Shinoda and other GM Engineers conceptualized Mustang's next model. Its flashy sports roof has an amazing sporty design but cheaper in cost to outfit and sell retail. This model used three-element tail-lamps for enhance vision while on the road specifically at the rear. The next mustang produced during the 1970's was heavier and larger. It uses Torino / Fairline sheet-metal foundation base on Knudsen's plan. However, it didn't stay long in the market because there was more demand in safety and fuel economy cars. Ford produced amazing models like Boss 351, 429 Cobra Jet and 351 Cleveland. However, 351 C became more prominent due to its hidden wind shield wipers, wraparound instrumentation, modular bolt-in dash board, bolt-on facade, and amazing engine. There is little doubt about it . Ford Mustang articles , photos and even ads created excitement in both glossy American sports car magazines on newsstands and Canadian Winnipeg newspapers. Stories abounded in both front and auto sections of major newspapers and periodicals. Of course this was long before the internet and internet marketing by the major auto manufacturers and dealer sales outlets.
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.
After 15 years of numerous researches on customer needs, Ford developed well performing four wheel cars. Ford redesigned Fox-4 platform into more heavier and underpowered model. In 1996, Ford enhance Mustang's feature like high-end 4.6L SOHC and DOHC V-8s in the GT and SVT Cobra. Ford based the design of the 2005 SN197 on McPherson and Jaguar platform with three-link rear suspension and axle. This model was the first safest Mustang car produced. Finally, Mustang will soon surprise fanatics at auto-shows this year 2010. Fans will surely enjoy and love the modern Mustang generation.
