HistoryFirst GenerationSecond GenerationThird GenerationFourth GenerationFifth GenerationSixth GenerationFord Mustang MachERacingAwardsExecutive stylist John Najjar who was a fan of the World War II P51 Mustang fighter plane is credited by Ford with suggesting the name Najjar codesigned the first prototype of the Ford Mustang known as the “Ford Mustang I” in 1961 working jointly with fellow Ford stylist Philip T Clark The Mustang I made its formal debut at the United States Grand Prix in Watkins Glen New York on October 7 1962 where test driver and contemporary Formula One race driver Dan Gurney lapped the track in a demonstration using the second “race” prototype His lap times were only slightly off the pace of the F1 race cars[citation needed] An alternative view was that Robert J Eggert Ford Division market research manager first suggested the Mustang name Eggert a breeder of quarterhorses received a birthday present from his wife of the book The Mustangs by J Frank Dobie in 1960 Later the book&#39s title gave him the idea of adding the “Mustang” name for Ford&#39s new concept car The designer Lee Iacocca&#39s assistant general manager and chief engineer Donald N Frey was the head engineer for the T5 project—supervising the overall development of the car in a record 18 months—while Iacocca himself championed the project as Ford Division general manager The T5 prototype was a twoseat midmounted engine roadster This vehicle employed the German Ford Taunus V4 engine The original 1962 Ford Mustang I twoseater concept car had evolved into the 1963 Mustang II fourseater concept car which Ford used to pretest how the public would take interest in the first production Mustang The 1963 Mustang II concept car was designed with a variation of the production model&#39s front and rear ends with a roof that was 27 in (69 mm) lower It was originally based on the platform of the secondgeneration North American Ford Falcon a compact car Iacocca who had been one of the forces behind the original Mustang became president of Ford Motor Company in 1970 and ordered a smaller more fuelefficient Mustang for 1974 Initially it was to be based on the Ford Maverick but ultimately was based on the Ford Pintosubcompact The new model called the “Mustang II” was introduced on September 21 1973 two months before the first 1973 oil crisis and its reduced size allowed it to compete against successful imported sports coupés such as the Japanese Datsun 240Z Toyota Celica and the European Ford Capri (then Fordbuilt in Germany and Britain sold in US by Mercury as a captive import car) Firstyear sales were 385993 cars compared with the original Mustang&#39s twelvemonth sales record of 418812 Ultimately the Mustang II was an early example of downsizing that would take place among Detroit&#39s Big Three during the “malaise era” Iacocca wanted the new car which returned the Mustang to its 1965 model year predecessor i The 1979 Mustang was based on the larger Fox platform (initially developed for the 1978 Ford Fairmont and Mercury Zephyr) The larger body with an increased wheelbase yielded more interior space for four passengers especially in the back seat as well as a larger capacity trunk and a bigger engine bay Body styles included a coupé (or notchback) hatchback and convertible Available trim levels included an unnamed base model (1979–1981) Ghia
