Synopses & Reviews
Almost from conception and certainly from its first appearance in 1964 (under the marketing direction of none other than Lee Iacocca), the Ford Mustang achieved iconic status in American car culture—with 100,000 sold in the first 90 days. Over the next 40 years, America’s love affair with the Mustang flourished—for reasons amply documented in this celebration of the style and performance that have made the Mustang a classic—again and again. Packing 250 color photos of more than 80 vehicles into a compact volume, with detailed performance statistics and historical accounts of each Mustang, from the early fastbacks and coupes to the 2007 Shelby GT500, this is the ultimate field guide to the incomparable people’s sports car.
Review
Car Collector Magazine, December 2007
“Newhardt’s book stands head and shoulders above the rest for photography (he also supplied a lot of the images in Genat’s Hemi Muscle book) and for that reason, and the subject matter, Mustang is our personal favorite. The book is lean on words with an opening spread of text for each chapter followed by an abundance of photos with detailed captions and spec charts.”
