Introduced April 17, 1964, the Fort Mustang was Ford Motor Company’s most successful model launch since its Model A. The Mustang was the first of the “pony car” class of U.S. vehicles, which included the AMD Javelin, Plymouth Barracuda, and Chevrolet Camaro. The Mustang was introduced at the New York World’s Fair and continues in production. The original concept of the Mustang was as a two-seater, an approach abandoned because of low sales experienced by the 1955 Thunderbird. The Mustang’s first use in a movie was in the James Bond’s thriller “Goldfinger.”
