The Ford Falcon had had seen some success but sales were beginning to drop so the brand made way for the Mustang.

The date was March 9, 1964. This was the day of the genesis of the Ford Mustang. The Ford Mustang was on its way to legendary status in the American culture and it grabbed the attention of that generation and it was very popular. Since that time, the Mustang aim has become synonymous with American values as apple pie and Lee Greenwood. Introduced to the public at the New York world’s fair on April 17, 1964, it became Ford’s most successful launch since the model A! The Ford Mustang is the only original pony car to enjoy uninterrupted production from its beginning until now.

A pony car is an economy two door car with a big engine, starting with the Mustang. A pony car is a coupe that has long goods in short rear decks. Pony cars are very masculine and this is very true with the first generations of the Mustang. Because of the rise of this extremely popular car, competitors began coming out with their own versions to this look. Many cars came out of this period of automotive history such as the Camaro, Barracuda, Javelin, Firebird, Cougar, Challenger, and later the foreign-made Toyota Celica.

I have a slick looking 73 Ford Mustang when I was a teenager. My dad gave the car to me as a teenager who had just turned 16. I don’t know why even trusted me with a car, especially a Mustang!

I remember the days when I was a teenager and driving around in the 73 Mustang that my father gave me on my 16th birthday. It wasn’t new but it seemed like it to me at the time. With new-found freedom, and a part of muscle car history, I was proud to own that old Mustang. The girls came and went at my love for the Ford Mustang never left my heart. Unfortunately in 1989, I sold that old car. It’s a many years of wear and tear from my wild teenage years. Today, I wished I had taken a little better care of that old classic muscle car. I guess it is kind of like the kids from the 1950s that had their Mickey Mantle baseball card thrown out by their mother, except that did this to myself. I haven’t quite seen a 1973 Mustang that looks exactly like mine, but that won’t stop me from looking. The car is forever in my heart.
