1963 Ford Mustang II (Prototype)
Mustang was Lee Iacocca’s contribution to Ford Motor Company’s line of cars. The first Mustang was tiny and European in appearance. After much redesigning, the very American Mustang II came into being. The slightly restyled production Mustang was an instant success with 417,000 selling in its first year, becoming as well known in Rio, Rome, and Rangoon as in Racine.
