The Secretary’s Car

That’s Right! In the Biz back in the day the First Gen Mustangs were called “the Secretary’s Car”. They were cute, sporty and cheap! Just the ticket 4 a young, underpaid career girl out on her own or transitioning from Mom & Dad’s Digs to her own. She was on a budget and driving a sporty ride. How Cool was That!! The 64 65 Mustang from Ford was every girl’s dream and that included the 66 Mustang as well!

64 65 Mustang ~ The Pony Car!

“The first-generation Ford Mustang was manufactured by Ford from April 1964 until 1973. The introduction of the Mustang created a new class of automobile known as the pony car. The Mustang’s styling, with its long hood and short deck, proved wildly popular and inspired a host of imitators. It was initially introduced as a hardtop and convertible with the fastback version put on sale the following year.” Source: Wiki Ford Mustang

What is it about the Mustang?

Seems like every time ol’ Chas has a go at car shopping online ~ what’s a newspaper? ~ Anyway, shops online kicking tires there’s one ride that has itself there in overwhelming numbers! It’s the Ford Mustang I see the most. And ~ it’s the 64 65 Mustang that pushes to the front of the queue! Then there comes a cavalcade of other First Gen Mustangs followed by the newer varieties. ~ But! ~ One doesn’t see very many of what the mob at the VivaChas Clubhouse refer to as the Sad Years of Mustang!

The Second Gen Sad Years 4 Mustang

“The second-generation Ford Mustang is a pony car that was manufactured by Ford from 1973 until 1978. It was introduced in showrooms during September 1973, in coupe and hatchback versions for the 1974 model year, in time for the 1973 oil crisis. The Mustang II had no common components with the preceding models and shared its platform with the subcompact-sized Ford Pinto.” That was a Bleak Time 4 Ford and its Mustang. And it was a time when rodders came to realize that they could be manipulated by Governments and Corporations. It was surely a Coming of Age 4 a generation. Quoted Source: Wiki Second Gen Mustang

Let’s Jump to Third Gen Mustangs!

“The third-generation Mustang was produced by Ford from 1978 to 1993. Built on Ford’s widely used Fox platform, it evolved through a number of sub-models, trim levels, and drivetrain combinations during its production life. It underwent updates for 1987, and for a time seemed destined for replacement with a rebadged import before company executives were swayed by consumer opinions. Enthusiasts group the generation into two segments: the 1979-1986 cars, with their quad headlight arrangement, and the 1987-1993 cars, with their “no-grille” (aero) front fascia styling. Production ended with the introduction of the fourth-generation Mustang (SN-95) for the 1994 model year.” Source: wiki 3rd Gen Mustang

Sure the Healing Had Begun but Not 64 65 Mustang Cool!

Yeah sure the third Gen Mustangs were better than the 2nd Gen ~ why even ol’ VivaChas had a 3rd Gen 4 a time ~ But! ~ It took the advent of the Fabled Forth Generation Mustang to recover some of the Mystique Created by the 1st Generation of Mustang. After All! ~ First Gen was the Classic, The Touchstone of which Ford and others had lost sight! Time 4 a Real Change!

Forth Gen Mustang and We Live Again!

It was like oxygen! For “1994, the Ford Mustang underwent its first major redesign in fifteen years. The design, code named “SN-95” by Ford, was based on an updated version of the Fox platform. It featured dramatic new styling by Bud Magaldi that incorporated some stylistic elements similar to those of earlier Mustangs. A convertible model would also return, but the notchback and hatchback body styles used in earlier Mustangs were not available.” And were we Glad!! ~ Haaa! And yet the 4th Gen ~ though much improved ~ was not me fave Mustang! ~;0) Source: Wiki 4th Gen Mustang

At Last! 5th Gen Mustang! Still Not 64 65 Mustang But!!!

Though not the Jewel that was the 64 65 Mustang intro that created the Fabled Pony Cars mentioned earlier ~ “The fifth-generation Ford Mustang is a pony car that was manufactured by Ford from 2004 to 2014, at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Flat Rock, Michigan. The fifth generation began with the 2005 model year, and received a facelift for the 2010 model year. Originally designed by Sid Ramnarace through late 2001 and finalized in mid-2002, the fifth-generation Mustang’s design was previewed by two preproduction concept cars that debuted at the 2003 North American International Auto Show. Development began on the S-197 program in 1999 under chief engineer Hau Thai-Tang, shortly after the 1998 launch of “New Edge” SN-95 facelift. From the second half of 1999, design work commenced under Ford design chief, J Mays, and concluded in July 2002 with the design freeze. There have been several variants of the fifth-generation Ford Mustang that include the Mustang GT/California Special, Shelby Mustang, Bullitt Mustang, and Boss 302 Mustang.” Source: Wiki 5th Gen Mustang
