The Legend of the First Ford Mustang Convertible
The 1/12 scale model shown here, manufactured by Ertl, is based on the iconic first-generation Ford Mustang Convertible. The first generation of this vehicle was produced from 1964 to 1973 and quickly gained cult status. Developed under the leadership of the then General Manager Lee Iacocca and Chief Engineer Donald N. Frey, the Ford Mustang quickly became a symbol of performance and style in automotive history. Its predecessor was the Ford Falcon, whose platform formed the basis for the Mustang. In the 1960s, the Mustang was the first vehicle in the so-called Pony-Car class, which shaped a new category of vehicles.
Technical Data and Highlights of the Original Vehicle
The first-generation Ford Mustang was available in various body styles and engine options. A notable feature was its distinctive, sporty design with a long hood and short rear overhangs. Technically, the model featured a variety of engine options, ranging from a 2.8-liter inline-six engine to a 4.7-liter V8 engine capable of up to 271 horsepower. The vehicle was known for its iconic front fascia with the galloping Mustang emblem and triple taillights. In the presumed production year of 1964, the legendary song "I Want to Hold Your Hand" by the Beatles was released, and the Revolutionary Party took power in China. These examples illustrate the time frame in which the Mustang grew into an icon.
