Ford Mustang I (1964-1973): boeken - historie en techniek

Ford Mustang - The First Generation

No one anticipated quite how thoroughly the Ford Mustang would catch the imagination of the American public. The Mustang was marketed as the all-American classic and introduced what became known as the 'Pony Car' - an affordable, compact, highly styled car with a sporty or performance-oriented image - and a revolutionary example of automotive design in the United States.
The company made over a billion dollars selling over 400,000 units in its debut year.

It took only eighteen months for Ford to hit the million Mustang mark, making it Ford's most successful launch since the Model A. Today's car sales don't even scratch the number of Mustangs sold in their first year. In over fifty years of production, Ford has sold 9 million Mustangs worldwide.

This book focuses on the first generation (1964-73) and the evolution of the Ford Mustang. This was an era when Mustang became synonymous with the name Ford and set an unprecedented benchmark for all rivals to follow. Its popularity was an emotional connection based on its unique and adaptable styling, its performance and its affordability.

Ford Mustang - America's Original Pony Car

Der Ford Mustang gilt als Ahnherr der Pony-Car-Klasse: schnittige Coupés und Cabrios mit großvolumigen 6- und 8-Zylinder-Motoren. Mit seinem legendären Ruf weit über die Grenzen der USA hinaus ist er fester Bestandteil der Popkultur - sei es mit Auftritten in diversen James-Bond-Streifen, als Mustang Bullit im gleichnamigen Steve-McQueen-Film oder in der Neuauflage der Knight-Rider-Serie.

Mustang by Design : Gale Halderman and the Creation of Ford's Iconic Pony Car

Without question, the 1964-1/2 Mustang is one of the most important and influential cars in automotive history. When Ford launched the Mustang, it created an automotive revolution.
Award-winning designer and stylist Gale Halderman was at the epicenter of the action at Ford, and, in fact, his initial design sketch formed the basis of the new Mustang. He reveals his involvement in the project as well as telling the entire story of the design and development of the Mustang.

Authors and Mustang enthusiasts James Dinsmore and James Halderman go beyond the front doors at Ford into the design center, testing grounds, and Ford facilities to get the real, unvarnished story. Gale Halderman offers a unique behind-the-scenes perspective and firsthand account of the inception, design, development, and production of the original Mustang.

Ford Mustang : America's Original Pony Car

In the early 1960s, Lee Iacocca - then director of the Ford division at Ford Motor Company - convinced Henry Ford II to produce a sporty four-seat car aimed at the emerging youth market. That car, essentially a reconfigured and re-skinned Falcon economy car, became the Ford Mustang, and it changed the automotive world like no other car before or since.

In Ford Mustang: America's Original Pony Car, acclaimed Mustang writer Donald Farr celebrates this unbroken lineage of muscle. He chronicles the car's phenomenal first-year sales, the new pony car category it pioneered, and subsequent models that include the Mustang GT, Shelby GT350, Shelby GT500, Super Cobra Jet, Boss 302, and Boss 429 - all part of a line of American performance cars that continues to this day.

Created in cooperation with Ford Motor Company and featuring some 400 photos from its historic and media archives, Ford Mustang is a must on the bookshelf of any muscle car or Ford aficiona
