A photo history of the classic Mustang era, with gorgeous color photos of America’s legendary performance icon.

Ford Mustang. From 1964 1/2 to 1973, those words meant fun and freedom for an entire generation. Sporty, quick, and affordable, the original pony car's reputation was fueled by racing success on drag strips and road courses. Today, these classic Mustangs are among the most popular and sought-after cars of that era.  In this book, Mike Mueller tells the Mustang's story from its design and 1964 introduction up to 1973, when an era ended as the down-sized 1974 Mustang II made its debut. It's an intriguing tale of an American performance icon, the people that created it, and the marketing machine that drove its success. It's a story that every Mustang fan must own.
