well here is a short history lesson on the ford mustang.
So people weren't ever all that interested in the Mustang until they managed to pack 30 mpg and 300 horsepower into the 2011 V-6 model? Or maybe you've always been a fan, but wish you knew a bit more trivia about America's first pony car?well the mustang was named after the legendary p-51 mustang fighter plane from world war 2.But many people still think that the car was name after a horse. However the boss at ford, R. H. Maguire ,didn't want an airplane emblem to appear on the car so they settled on the horse instead. The mustang prototype was the first class mustang to wear the horse as a emblem . Later the company ford started to make different types of car so they wanted to make a better mustang so in 1965 the company stared to make the first Shelby cobra mustang. People weren't interested in the cobra until advertisement were made to sell the car. Then in the late 1970 the car had sold over 50,000 it was more cars sold than the ford company expected. Wow that's a lot of cars.
So now you know a little bit more about the first pony car .
