Mustang History
Just about every American boy and girl out there at the ripe age of only 15 years old is anxiously waiting for his or her driver’s license. They feel desperate of being so close to freedom, yet their impatience makes them feel but so far from it as well. Years later, after a few speeding tickets and maybe a wreck or two, they notice that driving really is not thrilling any longer.

Sometimes you try too hard to be new and you forsake 40 years of heritage.” (DeLorenzo, 57) ring the early 60’s, the Corvette was the sports car of the day, but with too much of a heavy price tag for most, and smaller compact European cars were selling all too well in the U.S. Throughout this time also the post-war baby boomers were going to be purchasing their first car, and Ford Motor Company knew this.
