History

The original Ford Mustang was a product of the "Fairlane Group", a committee of Ford managers led by Lee Iacocca . The "Fairlane Group" worked on new product needs and in the summer of 1962, the group created a design for the frame of a new sports car. 

The aluminum body skin was a one-piece unit that was riveted in place to a space frame chassis.the seats were part of the body to help with rigidity.

Ford made an attempt to fill a gap between the Chevrolet Corvette with this model a small, 4-cylinder mid-engined, open two-seater, four-wheel independent suspension, rack and pinion steering, and front disc brakes.
