months before the normal start of the 1965 production year. The
early production versions are often referred to as "1964� models"
but all Mustangs were advertised, VIN coded and titled by Ford as
1965 models, though minor design updates for fall 1965 contribute
to tracking 1964� production data separately from 1965 data (see
data below). with production beginning in Dearborn, Michigan on
March 9, 1964; the new car was introduced to the public on April
17, 1964, at the New York World's Fair. Executive stylist John
Najjar, who was a fan of the World War II P-51 Mustang fighter
plane, is credited by Ford to have suggested the name. Najjar
co-designed the first prototype of the Ford Mustang known as Ford
Mustang I in 1961, working jointly with fellow Ford stylist Philip
T. Clark. The Mustang I made its formal debut at the United States
Grand Prix in Watkins Glen, New York on October 7, 1962, where test
driver and contemporary Formula One race driver Dan Gurney lapped
the track in a demonstration using the second "race" prototype. His
lap times were only slightly off the pace of the F1 race cars.
Mustangs grew larger and heavier with each model year until, in
response to the 1971-1973 models, Ford returned the car to its
original size and concept for 1974. It has since seen several
platform generations and designs. Although some other pony cars
have seen a revival, the Mustang is the only original model to
remain in uninterrupted production over five decades of development
and revision.
