The Ford Mustang was introduced by Henry Ford II at the World’s Fair in April of 1964. On the same day the Mustang was introduced, 22,000 Mustangs were bought by eager buyers. The era of cool mustangs had begun, and since then, sports cars have never been the same. Mustangs became cool before most people even knew what cool was. Cool mustangs have been in many major movies. People were known to sleep in Ford dealerships, so they could buy from new shipments of Mustangs when they were delivered. In 2018, Ford sold their 10 millionth Mustang. 

Mustangs have been popular for over 54 years. The 2019 Ford Mustang may start a new era by redefining the word cool yet again. The 2019 Ford Mustang has nine very good reasons it may enter into the Pantheon of all cool mustangs.  

Evolution of Ford Cool Mustangs

To better represent the nine reasons why the 2019 Ford Mustang is worthy of being in the hall of fame of coolness, you have to go back to why and how Mustangs are so popular. 

In 1964, when Mustang officially debuted, Ford’s regular car engines ran at 271-horsepower Hi-Po 289. Then Carroll Shelby got involved and helped Lee Iacocca create the Shelby GT350 Mustang. The Shelby GT350 Mustang had engines with a 715-cfm Holley carburetor, Cobra hi-riser intake manifolds, and 306-horsepower at 4200 rpm.

In a brilliant marketing move, Ford only made 522 Shelby Mustangs. The Shelby Mustang became the leader of cool cars. Ford recognized the brilliance of the Shelby Mustang look and engine.

That’s when Ford started creating engines that could go 500 hp at 6000 rpm. Ford kept increasing horsepower every few years to keep their loyal car buyers enthusiastic and ready to buy. Ford Motors knew with every car purchase buyers became part of the coolness factor because they were driving a Ford Mustang.
