First Generation Mustangs Remain In The Hearts of Many
The Mustang is a car model that was manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. The first generation Mustangs were from 1964 to 1973. The Ford Motor Company retooled the failing Ford Falcon into the first Mustang. The Ford Falcon had been a big success for Ford at first, but had to be phased out as sales dropped. This is where the Mustang came in.
A day that will live in classic car history, March 9, 1964. The Ford Mustang was born and it grabbed the attention of that generation and it was very popular. In fact, to this day the first generation Mustang has a special place in the hearts of most classic car enthusiasts. Introduced to the world at the New York World’s Fair on April 17, 1964, it became Ford’s most successful model launch since the hugely popular model A! This car is so popular that it has not had a stop in production since 1964. It is the only original pony car to have this distinction.
This type of car body would come to be known by many as the “pony car.” A pony car is a coupe that has long goods in short rear decks. Pony cars are very masculine and this is very true with the first generations of the Mustang. Due to the fact that Mustangs were very popular, competitors came out the woodwork to emulate the look of the Mustang with their own version of the pony car. Many cars came out of this period of automotive history such as the Camaro, Barracuda, Javelin, Firebird, Cougar, Challenger, and later the foreign-made Toyota Celica.
The year of 1973 pretty much signaled the end of an era in terms of classic muscle cars. This was a time in which fuel shortages started to become a national concern. Consumers were clamoring for fuel-efficient cars that were easy to insure. The car designers at Ford went back to design a more economical car that they hoped would provide the same appeal as previous models. 1973 was the last year that the Ford Mustang was built only original Falcon platform. The 1973 Mustang was the end of the line of the first generation of Mustangs.
Older men like me, looking back on their first car of the teen years with great sentimentality. It is really the memories that are attached to a car like the Ford Mustang, that really make it burn into your soul for the rest of your days. The carefree days, the girls, and the freedom of being on the open road will never be forgotten. Unfortunately I sold the 73 Mustang that I owned, but the spirit of the last first generation Ford Mustang will always be with me. What can I say? It will always be in my heart.
