1965 Ford Mustang
The car is known for its sleek body style and its high-performance engine. It is often called “America’s first sports car.” It was available in several models, including a fastback and convertible.
The 1965 Ford Mustang was the first generation of this iconic American muscle car. The Mustang evolved from the sucessful 1964 model, which had been introduced as a response to the new compact cars that were popular at that time (Ford).
This new sucessful vehicle brought back an old name that had been used on the very first Ford model in 1948. It also marked Ford's third successful attempt to beat General Motors' Chevrolet Corvette in drag racing after two failures with their Thunderbird and Falcon models.
The design of this generation of Mustang was a collaborative effort by a team of designers and engineers. All were responsible for making decisions during the process, from the exterior to the interior. The Mustang team wanted to "create a modern muscle car with timeless style—one that would set it apart from competitors."
