Mustang Genesis - Creation of the Pony Car
 
2 Attachment(s)
Got the attached book for Christmas entitled "Mustang Genesis and the Pony Car by Robert A Fria with a forward by Lee Iacocca. Very interesting read.

Youtube video attached with Lee Iacocca, Jay Leno and author Robert Fria discussing the book and the many steps that lead up to the production of the 1965 Ford Mustang.


Enjoy.

It's a superb book, and perfectly timed. I was lucky enough to meet Mr Fria at the 50th celebrations in Vegas. I bought the book, which he kindly signed.

He was very proud that his car, the earliest pre-production car known to exist, was chosen to be the image on the entrance tickets to the event.

I met him a few days later at the Birthday Gala at the Luxor hotel. Here he's holding "Stan" a little Hotwheels mascot for our club :)

Very cool. Wish the Mustang 50th Celebration came to Canada. Guess Ford does not realize that we drive Mustangs to.

Well, I (actually a group of us) traveled from the UK. Well worth it :)
