Ford Mustang's Birthday

This year, the Ford Mustang is celebrating its 56th birthday. For over half a century, this pony car has been innovating and breaking records for sport coupes. With a sensational history and even more enticing future, there’s so much to love about this athletic vehicle.

The History of the Ford Mustang

Originally conceived by Lee Iacocca, Ford revolutionized the “pony class” of muscle cars with the Mustang. This class of vehicle became known for having a long hood and short rear decks designed to turn heads as they cruise down the open road. The Mustang has gone on to inspire a range of other coupes in terms of performance and style, but nothing beats the original.

To honor this car, filmmaker David Gelb, notably know for “Jiro Dreams of Sushi”, created “A Faster Horse,” which shows the conception of this vehicle. This movie will take you through the exciting past of the Mustang, helping you look forward to the future.
