Artifact Overview

When the Ford Mustang debuted in April 1964, there was nothing else like it on the market. It had the sporty look of a European performance car, but with a price tag closer to that of an American family sedan. Car buyers loved it. Ford sold more than 680,000 Mustangs in the model's first 18 months.
