Too new for photos The Mustang was introduced at the 1965 New York
World's Fair, Mustang Mania instantly swept the country, and a new
automotive market segment was created - the 2+2 or better known as
the 'ponycar.' Though its mechanical underpinnings descended from
the Falcon, the Mustang was completely different. It was a compact,
tight, clean package weighing in at a modest 2,550 pounds - a
departure from the ever-enlarging American cars of the day. The
classic long-hood short-rear-deck combined with a forward-leaning
grille, elegant blade bumpers, sculptured body sides, fully exposed
wheel openings and restrained use of bright trim gave the car a
unique look that belied its affordability. Its looks were backed up
with power, providing three optional V8 engines with up to 271
horsepower. Other options included automatic transmission, power
steering and brakes, styled chrome wheels and air conditioning. Not
surprisingly, the entry-level modes were a minority of the
production. To say that the first Mustang was a success is an
understatement. Following the introduction, the Mustang was on the
cover of both Time and Newsweek. A week before introduction, Ford
ran ads with the air times for the first television commercials,
which all three networks broadcasted simultaneously. Mustang was
selected as the Official Pace Car for the 1964 Indianapolis 500,
and more than 22,000 orders were taken the first day. By its first
anniversary, over 418,000 Mustangs had been sold, breaking the
all-time record for first year sales of a new nameplate. Chrome
