The Complete Book of Ford Mustang: Every Model Since 1964-1/2 | Book Review

Ask anyone to make a list of the most American things ever, and the Ford Mustang is likely to be in the top 10 (probably somewhere between apple pie and baseball). After all, it’s been a standard on American roads since its 1964 introduction. 

And since then, it’s gone through several revisions and improvements all the way up to the current S550-chassis–a model that helped the Mustang continue as a sensation around the world.

How, then, do you keep track of six generations of Mustang, including all the unique options available on each model? One of the easiest ways is to start with “The Complete Book of Ford Mustang: Every Model Since 1964 ½.”

Detailing virtually every version of the Mustang since its inception–including early concepts as well as Shelby models–the book represents a thorough resource for technical specifications, interesting facts and even original MSRPs–plus prices of period options. Like, did you know buyers of the 1965 Mustang could get a $10.76 credit if they opted to delete the seat belts? That’d be a savings of nearly $100 in today’s money.

Each page also comes with numerous photographs–some period, some taken more recently–that offer glimpses of some of the most desirable Mustangs ever built. 

Even if you aren’t in the business of collecting Mustangs, “The Complete Book of Ford Mustang: Every Model Since 1964 ½” works well as an easy-to-read history of one of the United States’ greatest automotive icons.
