Motorbooks' Speed Read series celebrates every aspect of the original pony car--the Ford Mustang--from the key people like Lee Iacocca and Carroll Shelby to the racing success to the cars themselves. Get a full look at
every iconic Mustang model, from the first car to bear the name that became the fastest selling car of all time, to the astounding 526-horsepower supercar Mustang produces today.
In sections divided by topic, you'll explore the
design and launch of the first Mustang at the 1964 World's Fair; a
history of every generation of Mustang; the
various body styles, options, and accessories; a review of the
performance models; a profile of
Carroll Shelby and the Mustangs he designed;
special editions, like the Sprint, ASC/McLaren, and police pursuit vehicles; and, of course, the
Mustang's racing legacy.
Each section ends with a
glossary of related terms, and
informational sidebars provide fun facts, historical tidbits, and mini-bios of key people in Mustang history.
