• After conducting an intense market research program headed by Lee Iaccoca, a contest to build a nimble, long hooded, short trunked sporty looking compact car that weighed less than 2500 lbs. and with a price tag of less than $2500, was put to Ford's styling team. Based on the Falcon platform (unibody), the idea was to appeal to the ''baby boomer'' generation and to provide an economical alternative to the land yachts of the older generation. In short, the Mustang not only defined the times, it echoed the prosperity and desires of the most influential generation in America's history.

Forty-five years have elapsed since those unexpected '64 1/2 Mustangs rolled off FoMoCo's assembly line, yet even today people twist their necks just to catch a glimpse of the nostalgic car that started the ''Ponycar Revolution''. The original MUSTANG!!!

• Why do we love those classic musclecars so much? Maybe its the feeling you got when you could walk into your ''friendly Ford dealer '' and take your choice, be it a 200c.i. six cyl coupe or an all out adrenalin pumping 429 S.C.J. or Boss 351 stoplight warrior. It could be appreciation of the timeless styling, or perhaps happy memories of that high school graduation when your dad eclipsed the moment by tossing you the keys to your very own classic '66 Mustang Coupe, or even taking that special someone to a ''B-grade'' drive-in movie, the possibilities are endless.

• Regardless of what your age may be, or your particular reason, millions have experienced ''Mustang Mania' sometime in their lives, and the feeling is just as contagious now as it was back in the sixties and seventies when the golden age of musclecars was the '' Classic Mustang Years ''.
