History;

Ford developed the Mustang for a special mid-season debut at the New York World's Fair in April 1964. The resulting attention, and Mustang's instant appeal among consumers, made this one of the most memorable new car introductions in history. The 1965 Mustang set an all-time record for first-year sales of any new model. Today's auto market is too fragmented with different types of cars for a single model to ever get the wildly enthusiastic reception of the first Ford Mustang in America. Contrasting with the mystique of the Corvette convertible, the practical coupe or hardtop was the most popular Mustang body style, far outselling the convertible. Ford correctly read the market for a new type of car in the early 1960s. Baby boomers were reaching driving age, more families were buying second cars, and women and single people were buying cars. Many new-car buyers were looking for economical models with flair, excitement, and optional equipment that enhanced comfort and performance. Ford developed the Mustang with these criteria in mind. Lean and sporty, it was more sophisticated than Ford's first compact car, the Falcon, and it had some of the Thunderbird's panache. The 1965 Mustang was chosen as the pace car for the 1964 Indianapolis 500 race, and a Mustang convertible was used in the popular James Bond movie "Goldfinger," alongside an exotic Aston Martin sports car. This was the type of car that auto executives and dealers often dream about -- "the right car for the right time."
