Also, there was a conscious decision made to reverse course on the bloating growth of the size of the Mustangs, the first time I've realized car companies acknowledge that they just bloat cars year after year (see the last 20 years of Mini for example) and by making a smaller Mustang actually similar tro the 64-65 model, they finally hit the target that customers wanted, and made this the 3rd best selling Mustang ever, after the 65, and 66 model years.
Americans really want a small 2 door car, it's been proven since the Model T, over and over. The first gen T Bird, the 41 Willys, the 1st gen Mustang, 1st gen Camaro, Chargers up to the 1970, the 1st gen Barracudas, 1st gen Chevelles, 1st gen Torinos, 1st gen Road Runners
I used to deliver supplies to the Ford plant in Atlanta, and they had a large poster of the Mustangs on the wall and somehow they forgot to include the Mustang 2
ReplyDeleteand no mustang lover even knows or would admit that the Maverick outsold the Mustang for several years.
