Description

Ford Mustang 60 Years celebrates six decades of the original pony car in this beautifully illustrated, officially licensed book.


Performance and competition were in the air at Ford in the early 1960s. But it took Lee Iacocca's market perception for a vision to coalesce around a single car that could tap the growing youth market. That car was the Ford Mustang. Launched April 15, 1964, it was an immediate hit, blowing past all sales expectations to sell over 400,000 cars in its first year.
Created in cooperation with Ford Motor Company, Ford Mustang 60 Years recounts an uninterrupted six decades of success in the showroom, on the street, and on the world's racecourses. Mustang's seven generations have encompassed every permutation, from economy versions to muscle cars to slick-handling sport coupes to today's super high-performance Dark Horse and GTD models.


In Ford Mustang 60 Years, author Donald Farr recounts 60 stories chronicling milestones in the Mustang's long history, including:
The initial design and first models
The Millionth Mustang
Highlights from every generation
Carroll Shelby and the GT350
Starring roles in Bullitt and other movies
Race cars and pace cars
Creation of the 2005 Mustang
Dark Horse and GTD Mustangs


Ford Mustang 60 Years is a must for the bookshelf of any Ford or muscle car enthusiast.
