The Ford Mustang
is an automobile produced by the Ford Motor Company, originally
based on the Ford Falcon compact. The first production Mustang
rolled off the assembly line in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964,
and was introduced to the public at the New York World's Fair on
April 17, 1964, via all three American television networks on April
19, and made an appearance in the James Bond film Goldfinger (film)
in September of 1964. It was one of the most successful product
launches in automotive history. The Mustang sold over one million
units in its first 18 months on the market. The Mustang remains in
production today after many decades and numerous
revisions.
