1965 Mustang
The Ford Mustang made its debut on April 17, 1964, as an early 1965 model, although many like to think of it as a 1964½ model. Based on the Ford Falconplatform, the Mustang was a much more attractive package, offering European-inspired features such as bucket seats and a floor shifter. Straight-six and V8 engines were offered, as were hardtop coupe and convertible body styles; a slippery fastback coupewould join the lineup in September. The Mustang was a runaway success, selling more than 680,000 units in its extended first full model year.
