It was introduced on the 17th April of 1964 and was almost immediately the most successful launch of a car model since the Ford Model A. The Mustang succeeded in created what is now known as the pony car class of North American automobiles. This type of car is a sports cars that were constructed as coupes with very long hoods and shorter rear decks, giving it rise to the competitors like GM's Chevrolet Camaro and the defunct AMC Javelin as well as Chrysler's revamped version of the Plymouth Barracuda. The Ford Mustang also inspired more of these coup/ sports car hybrids such as the Toyota Celica and the Ford Capri, both of which were imported to the United States soon after the Ford Mustang's rise to fame.
The production of the Ford Mustang began in the town of Dearborn Michigan during the 9th of March in 1964, but the car wasn't released and introduced to the public until April the 17th of 1964 at the New York World's Fair as the future of the Ford Motor Company's line of vehicles. It is the number 3 oldest nameplate that Ford currently keeps in production newer models. The Ford Mustang is right alongside the F-Series pickup truck line, though this truck has gone through numerous nameplate changes over the years, and the Ford Falcon, which are only still in production in Australia and several select parts of Western Europe.
