Ford’s Iconic Lineup: The Top 5 Models Shaping the Future of American Automobiles

2. Ford Mustang

Launched in 1964, the Ford Mustang created the “pony car” class of American muscle cars—compact, affordable cars with sporty designs and performance. The Mustang’s popularity skyrocketed following its appearance in films like Bullitt and Gone in 60 Seconds. Throughout its history, the Mustang has undergone multiple redesigns but has maintained its muscle car legacy with powerful V6 and V8 engines. The brand also introduced an all-electric version, the Mustang Mach-E, in 2020, blending Mustang’s design language with modern electric performance.
