The “Superstar Cars” series takes a look at an iconic American sports car, the Mustang. In this sixty-four page informational text readers are given the history and technical statistics of Ford’s 1964 entry into the sports car market. Its distinct insignia of a running horse gave a name to a whole genre of affordable, two door sports cars referred to as “pony cars.” From its appearance on the streets in spring of 1964, making it officially a 1964?, this pony car has been designed and redesigned, shown on film and heard about in song. Perhaps most associated with Mustang is auto designer Carroll Shelby. In 1965, Shelby took a Mustang and modified it for speed and performance. Although leaving his association with Ford before 1970, Shelby returned in 2006 and celebrated the 40th anniversary with a special edition 2007 GT500KR Shelby Mustang. Whether Boss, Mach I, Cobra, or “plain,” the Mustang franchise remains one of the most popular in the American sports car scene. Used to race, pace or just cruise the streets, no one can doubt the role that the Mustang has played in automotive history. For those young readers who are interested in sports cars, this informational book includes a glossary, an index, color photography and timeline to make it a valuable addition to their library collections.
