History

• The first Ford Mustang was formally introduced in April 1964 at the World's Fair in New York, but the first prototype debuted in 1962.
  
  

Types

• Depending on the production year, Ford Mustangs are available in a variety of body styles, including 2-door hatchbacks, 2-door convertibles and 2-door 2+2 seat coupes.
  
  

Considerations

• The Ford Mustang, the first of the American pony cars, is the only car of its class to be produced without interruption since its development in the early 1960s.
  
  

Misconceptions

• Contrary to common belief, the 1964 1/2 Mustang was not truly a 1964 model. The model is an early 1965, a fact reflected in the first digit of the VIN number.
  
  

Fun Fact

• An airplane pilot was mistakenly sold the first Ford Mustang off the assembly line, and it took Ford several years of negotiating with the pilot to reclaim the car.
