The first Mustang was the Mustang I Prototype, and it made its debut at Watkins Glen New York at the United States Grand Prix in October 7, 1962 and was driver by race car driver Dan Gurney. It stood only 40 inches high and had a rear mounted engine that was cooled by two small radiators. It had all round suspension, splayed coil springs and shock absorbers. The suspension system was highly advanced for the era. It had a 4 speed transmission with a cable operated gearchange. Lotus Wheels, rack and pinion steering, recessed lighting. The Mustang I Prototype however was a shortlived project that never made it into commercial production and it was back to the drawing board. cocomilkcollectibles.com This payable sports-car was an idea from the young vice-president at Ford, Lee Iacocca. He was asked to bring back the two-seater Thunderbird. In 1962 he build the Mustang I-prototype, a V4 two-seater. However it had to be a four-seater and in 1963 the Mustang II showcar was riding at the American Grand Prix. The car was received passionately and became so popular, the Mustang was taken into production. powerpassion.nl * * *
