As a bread-and-butter automobile, the Fairlane came standard with an inline-six engine, while the option list included an assortment of small-block V8 powerplants.

When the Ford Mustang went on sale in April 1964, it created a new kind of car almost overnight. Long hood, short deck, a sporty image and a price young buyers could afford: the formula sold to secretaries and drag racers alike and spawned an entire category, the pony car. Six decades later the Mustang is the last of the original breed still in continuous production, having outlasted the Chevrolet Camaro, the Pontiac Firebird and the classic Dodge Challenger, and it remains a symbol of America far beyond American roads.
Its history reads like a family tree with a few awkward cousins. The early cars and Carroll Shelby's GT350 and GT500 became collector royalty, the Mustang II of the 1970s became a punch line, and the lightweight Fox-body cars of the 1980s rebuilt its reputation. The retro-styled 2005 model rekindled the magic, and the 2015 generation finally brought an independent rear suspension and right-hand drive for global sale. The current car keeps the 5.0-liter V8 and a manual gearbox alive, while the Dark Horse and the race-bred GTD aim at Europe's best.
The name now also covers the Mustang Mach-E, an electric crossover that infuriated purists when it arrived in 2021 and then won over plenty of buyers with its range and driving manners. It is sold widely abroad, and Ford has even built special versions for police work. For the coupe and convertible, rivals now include the electric and Sixpack Dodge Charger, the BMW M2 and other sports cars, while the Mach-E faces the Tesla Model Y and Hyundai Ioniq 5.
Mustang culture is wide enough to fill a feed on its own. There are new trims and special editions, convertible and Dark Horse variants, Shelby and aftermarket builds, and the GTD's assault on lap records; the Mach-E brings software updates, pricing moves and police versions. Add recall notices, track tests, drag-strip results and racing news, plus the auction-block classics and barn finds that turn up weekly, and it is clear why the pony car remains the most talked-about name in the Ford stable.
