If there is one product that represents our company, it’s the Mustang. It’s a legend because it’s beautiful, fast and affordable. There’s nothing else out there like it – nothing combines those three attributes the way Mustang does. I think people are so passionate about Mustang because it gives you a sense of freedom. I’ve always said if I could only own one car for the rest of my life, it would be a red Mustang convertible with a V-8 en- gine. It doesn’t get any better than that.” Bill Ford Jr. Chairman, Ford Motor Company 4 WELCOME TO THE START OF YOUR MUSTANG STORY!

Sperlich interpreted research on the record numbers of leading- edge baby-boomers and college grads entering the workforce and car market, which indicated that they were looking for a fun-to-drive second family car. Iacocca wanted to attract those young buyers to Ford with a stylish yet affordable sports car that was also practical and attainable. Frey sought to engineer a capable but economical vehicle that was easy to manufacture, all while Halderman and Oros wanted to style something fresh and different – something sporty and, at the same time, beautiful. When they were finally able to get the green light for production from then-Ford Chairman Henry Ford II, the rest, as they say, is history. The Ford Mustang was so successful that its name and shape soon became identifiable the world over, and even led to the creation of the term ‘Pony Car’ for the segment of affordable, compact cars with a sporty or high-performance image that followed. 6 THE BIRTH OF A LEGEND Your LEGO® Creator Expert Ford Mustang is inspired by the classic New York World’s Fair on April 17, 1964 and was 1967 Mustang.
