Artifact Overview

Ford Motor Company caused a sensation in the automotive press when it unveiled Mustang I in 1962. The two-seat concept car featured a sleek aluminum body, retractable headlights, and a mid-mounted V-4 engine sourced from Ford's German subsidiary. Never intended for sale, Mustang I's purpose was to generate interest in Ford. By that measure, it was a complete success.
