Ford Mustang 1964

Maybe One Day ......The Ford Mustang as the first -- and so far the only -- car to receive the Tiffany Award for Excellence in American Design. Not bad for a car that was designed using mostly existing components, an existing chassis (from the Ford Falcon), and base price of $2368. A rediscovery of the classic proportions of long hood and short deck set the Mustang apart from its contemporaries. The Mustang was also an instant hit wîth the car-buying public. Over 100,000 were sold in the first four months and in less than 24 months Ford had sold its 1 millionth Mustang, a record that has yet to be equaled or eclipsed. The Mustang was quite simply the right car at the right time.
