Product Details

Editorial Reviews

Product Description: Ford's Mustang, launched on April 17, 1964, became the Official Car of the Baby Boom. It was a fortuitous accident of timing and a brilliant result of product planning. This sleek, stylish automobile launched the "Pony Car" genre with a staggering 417,000 sales in its first year. Through 40 years of tough competition from Chrysler and General Motors, the Mustang has survived and outlasted them all. Dozens of interviews bring insight to the 40-year-old story, the on-going legend, and the Mustang's future.

This was a perfect deal. Clear description and a shipment with no problems. Communication was not a problem.

If you are a Mustang fun then this is a great choice for a coffee table book with plenty of pictures, especially of the earlier models. It is lacking in the field of specialized descriptions so if you want that you should consider some other options. But for a simple reference book and a great coffee table addition this would be the right choice
Just a big book!

Even though I liked this book it was a bit overkill.Its got a lot of rare Mustangs in it and they are big photos too.This is just a big coffee table book.Yeah,its got plenty of photos,most in colour but a little light on text.The author's book that was published by "Motorbooks International" is a great book.Thats the quality this book should have been.

This book is printed on average quality paper.It lets it down a fair bit.For what it is,its a reasonable book but there are better books even by this author.Some people will be pleased with this book.
The Ultimate Pony Car Book

This book is everything you ever wanted to know about Mustangs, including the pre-history (what Ford sports cars led up to the development of the original "64 1/2" Mustang). It tells the complete story of every Mustang model ever made, even the regional one like the "California Special". It also covers every "Hypo" model Shelby made. The title says it's forty years of Mustang history and it doesn't lie. This is the most complete version of the Mustang story I've ever seen in one book.

I purchased this item as a gift for a Mustang enthusiast. He loved it. The pictures are amazing. It now sits main stage on his coffee table. It's a great conversation piece.
