Ford Mustang Concept Car Model, 1962
Add to SetSummary
While it shared its name with the popular production Ford Mustang introduced in 1964, the 1962 Mustang I was an entirely separate project. The experimental Mustang I promoted Ford's commitment to performance and enhanced the company's public image. This model belonged to John Najjar, who supervised the design of the sporty two-seat concept car and suggested the "Mustang" name.
