In 1896, a man in his Detroit home by the name of Henry Ford started to think about what he could create. He was sitting in his workshop located in Detroit and thought of creating a car. He built his first experimental car in 1896 and took it to production with the help of investors' money. His experimental car was assembled at the Mack Avenue plant in July of 1903. In 1908, The Model T was introduced as a brand new car and is was sent for mass production. It was one of the most successful cars built during that era.
Ford has come a long way from when they first made their first car to what they have now. They even created their own performance branch labeled as "The Mustang".
The first Mustang was built in 1964. During those years came along some amazing cars like the 65' Shelby Mustang, Shelby Cobra, and especially the 69' Bullitt Mustang. Quickly, the Mustang became the most iconic muscle car in the world.
The first Mustang, built in 1964 produced 210 horsepower. It had a V-8 cast iron block engine. However in that era, it was normal to have a cast iron engine block because everyone used them. They were sturdy, they were robust and they almost never broke down because they are heavy duty. However, it did add a lot of weight to the car.
