April 24, 2008 - For a car that practically defines automotive Americana, the Mustang has since never lived up to the Pony car from late '60s. There's a certain feeling and experience in driving one and just simply riding in an original McQueen-approved fastback. The Mustang is easily one of the favorite two-door vehicles to come out of Motor City. More than three generations have past since the Mustang lived up to the legacy. And it took until the debut of the 2005 for Ford to figure out that the formula for success was in design that was nearly half a century old. Ford designers put together a Mustang concept show at the 2004 North American International Auto Show. It was an instant must-have for both consumers and automotive media.
Instantly-popular, the concept was more than a hit all simply because of its original roots. The next logical step was to build the thing. Fortunately for Mustang fans and consumers interested in reliving Bullit, someone at Ford was smart enough to sign off on a production vehicle based on the concept.
