The first ';Mustang'; created by Ford, was a concept car built for the Detroit Autorama Auto Show in 1962, not 1960.


It was called the ';Mustang I'; after the famous P-51 Mustang airplane. It was never meant for production.








Excerpt:


The 1962 Mustang I concept car was created to cause a stir. It was never meant for production.





During the early 1960s a large number of Americans entered their teenage years and their youthful spirits demanded a car with boundless energy. Lee Iacocca, then general manager of Ford Motor Company's Ford Division, grasped the importance of this huge untapped market, and with his talented team of designers and engineers he set out to create a car that satisfied their thrill-seeking desires. From the outset, the Mustang's three biggest selling points -- sporty styling, great performance, and a reasonable price -- were established to reach this young target audience.





Ford designers worked tirelessly to come up with an innovative design. To jumpstart the creative process, Gene Bordinat, a company vice president and director of styling, staged a competition for Ford designers in the summer of 1962. Two weeks of non-stop sculpting created a rush of enthusiasm that led to seven different clay models, before Joe Oros's model was selected as the winner.





The vehicle's name went through several incarnations before ';Mustang'; was selcted. In its early design stages the vehicle was known as Special Falcon, then later it was called the Cougar, the name Oros had given it. At the time, Italian fashions were big trends and the name Torino (the Italian name for the city of Turin) was seriously considered. Sample ads using the Torino name were prepared. However, the Ford Division wanted the car to sell as an American car and the Torino name was dropped. If company president Henry Ford II had his way the Mustang would have been called the T-Bird II. The final pool of names considered included Cougar, Bronco, Puma, Cheeta, Colt, and Mustang. Finally, after several strategy meetings, the Mustang Moniker was selected.I seen someone ask a question about what was the first mustang ever built,heres the true answer on this?
Nice...your link doesn't work!!!
The first Mustang prototype, introduced in 1962, was a mid-engine two seat roadster. Take a look at photos at this web site...

Can you say CORVETTE!?
In some cases the answer could be 'yes', though I believe that is unlikely.


there are certain cultural biases in the context of your question, it may be necessary to qualify these references when addressing a more culturally diversified audience.


An answer in the negative would most likely be correct as the nature of the interogative is seeking a gain of knowledge or information.
The first Mustang was debuted to the public as an experimental two seat roadster in 1962. There was another in 1963 that looked a little more like the 64 1/2 that ultimately went into production.





The name was borrowed from the P-51D and it stuck. You're right the car was pretty cool looking.
Mustang 1 was built in 1962 not 1960...

The car pictured in the link provided is indeed the concept car put together, before the actual production model was released on April 17th, 1964 at the New York's World Trade Fair. This car was the brainchild of Lee Iacocca, whose intent was to create a ';an affordable ponycar';. In order to achieve this, most of the parts used were ';borrowed'; from the Falcon, a proven reliable vehicle at the time. 1967 would arrive with Mercury introducing its own version of this vehicle on a slightly stretched wheelbase, called the Cougar. This brought about the introduction GM's F-body twins, the Firebird and Camaro. By the way dodge man, did you know about the ';concept'; Corvette with the mid-engined ROTARY engine that was out, some time in the '70's? This wasn't an actual production Corvette of course, but it was very interesting looking at the time, you have to admit. The pictures I recall, were equipped with the same aluminum rims found on the very well known 1978 Official Pace Car. If you want to talk about something even more rare, how about the Pontiac Banshee? Ever seen one of those? It's a shame it never made it to actual production. It almost looks like a Corvette, wearing a Pontiac badge.
