First introduced as a 1964 and ½ model it had a price of $1,964.50 that first year. There body types, Hard top, Convertible and Fastback. And those vents behind the widows on the fastback were functional and helped with the flow-thru ventilation.
A friend of mine made the point that what makes a car a classic is that no matter how many times the company tries to reinvent it, they keep coming back to the same body style. By that definition the Mustang is way out at the skinny part of that curve.
My Dad had one of these when I was a little girl. Brand new from the dealership. We’d had the car for a short time when for some reason I thought I needed a moving sandbox and carried several buckets of sand and poured them in the backseat floorboards before my Mom caught me. It is one of my earliest memories. Probably because I got in serious trouble with my Dad when he found out. I remember carrying and pouring the sand … child sized beach buckets … and I remember my Mom freaking out. I don’t remember my Dad’s reaction. Car doors were kept locked after that!
I prefer a 1963 Corvette Stingray with a split rear window. My all time fav is a 64 Shelby Cobra, dual syncromesh transmission, four speed manual. NOTHING could touch it on the track.

Which is what Ford had in mind back then; the Mustang was designed, in part, to appeal to the ladies as cute and sporty.,,

True: I once met a girl that drove a Mustang convertible. Her name was … Sally… ☺

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if you saw it when it was new, you’re entitled to call it “cute”.

It was. A restored original (all six cylinders of it) is still cute.
