The first-generation Ford Mustang convertible, launched in 1964, became an instant hit. Lee Iacocca wanted to create a sporty car appealing to a broad audience at an affordable price.

The Mustang's design, featuring a long hood and short deck, captured the spirit of the era. It offered various engine options and quickly became a symbol of American automotive culture.

Its successor was the second-generation Ford Mustang.

Did you know that the Mustang almost wasn't called Mustang? Ford considered names like Cougar, Torino, and even Allegro before settling on Mustang, inspired by the P-51 Mustang fighter plane.
