About Ford Mustang
The Mustang created the pony car class in 1964 and sold a million within two years, far beyond what Ford had planned for. It is the only American muscle car nameplate to have remained in production continuously ever since. Ford has since applied the name to an electric SUV, the Mach-E, a decision that divided owners of the original and was defended by the company as necessary to keep the badge current.
