Mustang – The American »pony car»

Driving an old car can be quite an experience, an experience that I liked a lot.

Driving an old car can be quite an experience, an experience that I liked a lot. Glamorous, sporty and highly comfortable Mustang was a model that changed the concept of the well known american automobile brand, Ford. Produced in 1964 revealed to be the fifth-best selling Ford car nameplate. However Ford had to change and improve it’s model diversity and developed a ‘’pony car’’ to deal with the competition.

‘’Ford&Ferrari’’ movie describes the ambitious process of this new powerful and sporty car. After a missed negotiation with Ferrari and a humiliating meeting, Henry Ford II and Lee lacocca decided to contrat the best engineers  and the best pilots to win Ferrari in racing competitions. That’s when the eccentric team of  Carroll Shelby and the british pilot Ken Miles were contracted to build a powerful race machine that could win the invincible team in the 24 hours competition of ‘’Le Mans’’ in France. In 1958 and all the years between1960 and  1965 Ford was the winner  of the most traditional and biggest race in the world since 1923.

Nowadays, according to several newspapers Ford Mustang is still America’s most popular classic car.

‘’For the 2018 model year, Ford touted the Mustang as the “world’s best-selling sports coupe,” with 113,066 new models finding homes. That includes a few thousand right-hand drive ’Stangs in Britain. In fact, according to Ford, the sixth-generation pony car was available in 146 countries in 2018.’’ Hagerty Media.

‘’The classic car market isn’t a popularity contest, but if it was, the ’65 Mustang would be the prom queen.’’ Hagerty Media
