			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jon Najjar and Robert Eggert were the key persons of the success of Ford Mustang Cars. It was often quoted that the Mustang &#8220;sold faster than donuts&#8221;. The Ford Mustang family had the combined features of Ford Falcon and Thunderbird models. Mustang reached fame for its unique pony style. However, the company received criticism from fans due to larger and heavier models after the first release.</p>
<p>After the introduction of its first release in April 17, 1964, Mustang had a new look when Larry Shinoda joined the company. His venture to Ford Company gave way to Sports Roof Mustang models that has three-tail lamps for better rear view vision. In the decade of the 1970&#8217;s, Ford created heavier and bigger version of Mustang autos. It uses Knudsen design having Torino or Fairline sheet metal. Unfortunately, this model didn&#8217;t last long in the market because most customers preferred fuel miles per gallon gasoline saving cars. On the other hand, Mustang 351 Cleveland was the most popular car during this year due to its special features like hidden shield wrappers, bolt-on faade, wraparound instrumentation, and incredible engine.</p>
<p>After joining Ford Company, Larry Shinoda and other GM Engineers conceptualized Mustang&#8217;s next model. Sports Roof has an amazing sporty design but cheaper in cost. This model used three-element tail-lamps for enhance vision while on the road specifically at the rear. The next mustang produced during the 1970&#8217;s was heavier and larger. It uses Torino / Fairline sheetmetal foundation base on Knudsen&#8217;s plan. However, it didn&#8217;t stay long in the market because there was more demand in safety and fuel economy cars. Ford produced amazing models like Boss 351, 429 Cobra Jet and 351 Cleveland. However, 351 C became more prominent due to its hidden wind shield wipers, wraparound instrumentation, modular bolt-in dash board, bolt-on facade, and amazing engine.</p>
<p>Ford Company released Mustang II in 1974 which was the smaller version of the 1965 Mustang, This car has redefined characteristic such as embedded bolt-on outlook and sub-frame to isolate engine harmonics. It was modified to be smaller to accommodate its fuel efficiency features. Though its power was reduced, Mustang II hit the auto-industry at the exact time when least oil was supplied. King Cobra was the next model to Mustang II but it didn&#8217;t stayed longer because Ford was ready to introduce their 1979 Mustang models. It has larger Fox platform and better interior to accommodate four people at the rear sit. The trunk and the engine got bigger so drivers can easily fix engine at times of trouble. In addition, the &#8216;79 Mustang was use in the Indianapolis 500 Pace Car that resulted Ford to reproduce to meet the demand.</p>
<p>After 15 years of numerous researches on customer needs, Ford developed well performing four wheel cars. Ford redesigned Fox-4 platform into more heavier and underpowered model. In 1996, Ford enhance Mustang&#8217;s feature like high-end 4.6L SOHC and DOHC V-8s in the GT and SVT Cobra. Ford based the design of the 2005 SN197 on McPherson and Jaguar platform with three-link rear suspension and axle. This model was the first safest Mustang car produced. Finally, Mustang will soon surprise fanatics at auto-shows this year 2010. Fans will surely enjoy and love the modern Mustang generation.</p>
