Mustang Genesis - Creation of the Pony Car

Got a book entitled the "Mustang Genesis - Creation of the Pony Car" for Christmas. Very interesting read. The book explains the many steps and trial leading up to the creation of the 1965 production Mustang. Attached video of Jay Leno speaking to Lee Iacocca and Robert Fria regarding the events leading up to the creation of the Ford Mustang.


Enjoy.

It gives me that sickening feeling to know that they are going to crush that prototype Mustang. They should do the right thing and put in the Ford museum for the rest of time. The book looks like it is going to be a good read. If I give the wife some hints about the book maybe she will go and get it for me.

Just had to add that Lee Iacocca looks very frail. That will be another great loss when he goes to meet up with Carroll Shelby.

They are not going to crush it. It is in the Ford Museum.

Ray, any chance I could get the ISBN number from your book. My wife went to Chapters and they couldn't find it. She wants to buy it for my Birthday.

Hey Ray,

My wife ordered the book and it finely arrived. A few days late for my birthday, but it is here. I had forgotten about it, so it was a surprise when she gave it to me. Now to get some time to read it.

Thanks again for the info Ray.
