"How a Ford Mustang is Assembled" Graphic, circa 1978
Add to SetSummary
Ford Motor Company illustrated the steps in building a Mustang in this poster from 1978. It was the company's 75th anniversary, and the poster perhaps reminded viewers that Ford had perfected the moving assembly line some 60 years earlier. The time required to assemble a Mustang -- from chassis, to body, to paint, to pre-delivery -- was about 27 hours.
