Ford Mustang, a global cultural icon on four wheels, celebrates 60 years with festivities that pay tribute to one of the world’s most iconic cars
“Unexpected.” “Special”. “The classic car of the future”. These are just a few of the words and phrases used to describe the all-new and highly revolutionary Ford Mustang when it was first released across the Atlantic in 1964. They weren’t wrong.
Sixty years after its official premiere, the evergreen Ford Mustang has become a global cultural icon on four wheels, having been the world’s best-selling sports car for more than a decade. In fact, from 2015 onwards, when it officially hit its wheels outside America, the Ford Mustang has accumulated over 1 million sales and a total of more than 10 million since it was presented to the public for the first time on April 17, 1964 as part of of the New York World’s Fair.
Ford had predicted that the Mustang would sell about 100,000 cars in its first year on the local car market. However, its appeal was such that 417,000 Mustangs found new owners already in the first 12 months of its US launch. In fact, the 1,000,000th Mustang was sold no later than 1966.
The Ford Mustang – a car that has now starred in over 5,000 motion pictures for six decades – was more than just a sports car. In fact, it was a new kind of car, which from the very beginning attracted a younger generation of buyers who were not interested in the boring and conservative cars their parents drove.
This audience was looking for an innovative, unconventional and passionate vehicle, with strong design personality and the highest possible performance and performance. An important part of the Ford Mustang’s great appeal was that from the beginning it spoke to the desires of many different buyers – from those simply looking for a basic car, to those who wanted a luxury vehicle for intense driving thrills and an ultimate sense of freedom. This was and remains to this day the soul and essence of the Ford Mustang, exactly sixty years after its first release on the “streets” of modern motoring.
