The Ford Mustang: A Demographic Analysis

American culture, its society, and its landscapes are all shaped by the automobile. The automobile is more than just a vehicle or a means to get from one point to the next. A car is a symbol, upon which Americans project their dreams, desires, goals, values, beliefs, and identities. In Dagoberto Gilb's short story, "Love in L.A.," the protagonist's name is Jake. Jake envisions his ideal car, with crushed velvet interior, an FM radio, electric controls, and a heater because "he could imagine lots of possibilities when he let himself," (p. 432). Jake's vision is more than a vehicle; it is the American Dream epitomized.

The story of the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro is one intertwined from the beginning. The Mustang came first in mid-1964, offering bang-for-the-buck performance in a sleek package. Three years later, the Camaro answered with its own take on the idea. Skip to 43 years later, and the battle rages on. Today, we will be taking a look at the V-6 versions of today's pony cars, and see which one comes out the winner in a paper challenge royal. To make it a fair comparison, we will divide the competition up into four rounds essential to any pony car fan: styling, performance, comfort, and features, with extra weight given to styling and performance. Naturally, the winner

Muscle Car," two distinctive cars come to mind, the Camaro and the Mustang. Throughout the era of the early 1950's and 1960's, there was a revolutionary movement that took place and paved the ground work for today's "Muscle Cars" known as the "Ponycar Era." Ask any avid Camaro or Mustang fan about the ponycar era, and watch their pain. They will describe cars that would light the tires on fire, floor it, and hang onto the wheel excitement. Back in the 1960's a new idea was soon to hit the American market, the Ford Mustang. When the Mustang was introduced, General Motors soon to had to follow with their own type of sports car. The car they generated was know as the Chevrolet Camaro. The cars

I own a Ford truck. So I know what I am talking about when I speak on this subject. I agree with the Ford Truck commercials. The best selling, best built trucks in America. I really can't speak to the quality of today's Ford truck, however. With all the changes in the industry, changes within Ford itself, not to mention today's disposable society...

More than 22,000 Mustangs were ordered on April 17, 1964 when it was first released by Ford. Show rooms were visited by more than four million people and there were over 2,600 ads in newspapers. In 1974, the Mustang II began. Buyers loved it since it was smaller and had a weaker engine. This would use less fuel during the fuel crisis. Sales had tripled since the year before. It also was easier to drive because of its rack-and-pinion steering. In 1978 Mustang added many fashion features that would appeal to female buyers. The rear seat was divided into two seats even though it had been a single seat in the years before. Along with many new colors there were also pockets in the door handles, illuminated driver vanity mirrors, and "Fresno

What do I mean by the mustang is made up of sensation? A few things. The first is anytime someone wants to describe something, they usually describe it by their sensations-what they perceive to be true about the object. Very rarely will someone describe an object by what the object is literally without using sensation. Suppose someone was asked to describe what a table was like. They would describe it most likely by feeling it, looking at it, and maybe picking it up. While the object is physical, they would describe it by what their sensations of touch and sight perceive. Even if there are two identical tables, and one is asked to give a report of what they are like, he or she will not say that the tables are the same. Yes, they are made of the same material, look the same, have the same color, and same weight, but the table A is not table B. They are different physical objects each taking up different places in the space they are in. The second is someone was asked to describe what a strawberry smoothie tastes like. They would describe it by what their sense of tastes tells them about this strawberry smoothie. Like the tables, if someone were to order to identical smoothies, they are not the same thing. They cannot be the same thing because there again, two objects taking up

American society has been changed by many different creations throughout history, such as telephones, fridges and credit cards. The creation that has affected American society the most is the automobile. The automobile has affected the American society in several ways: first, it has created more jobs. Second, it allowed people to travel to destinations they could not before. Third, it has polluted the environment. Lastly it has changed the urban and rural landscapes. All of these reasons prove that the automobile has altered the American society.

A highly popular muscle and sports car, the Ford Mustang functions as a daily driver, weekend warrior, and a show winning work of mechanical art. Whether someone just needs a basic transportation to get from point A to point B, an eight second quarter-mile beast, or a show stopping work of power and beauty, Ford has produced a Mustang for every need.

Carroll Shelby,the inventor of mustang once said, Racing has reached the point where it is pricing the young driver, no matter his talent, out of the game.

Whether or nor the inventor of the car imagine our developed automobile industry and very convenient transportation facilities may don’t be known. Obvious no man had more effect on the daily lives of most people in the United States than did Henry ford a pioneer in automobile production. Automobile culture change America society in different ways. For example, lifestyle, infrastructure and economy. There’s no question about that car is a necessity, we don’t lose it.

The Camaro was known for competition with the Mustang. There are so many jokes from when it first came out. One of them is that it was a mean little predator that was going to eat the Mustang.

In the second place, On U.S News.com it states that the mustang has been an American icon since Ford introduced it as a 2-seat concept car built on the compact Ford Falcon platform in 1962. The car

The first sports cars built by Ford were not called the mustang. In 1964 the first mustang was built and and went for sale. The car was an instant success for Ford. It quickly became a instant seller because of the options and price. In this time many people couldn’t afford a nice car but the mustang made it possible. The car also became a cultural icon because of its uses in movies and other advertisement methods. The first mustang was a 2 seater with a mid engine v4 engine. In order for the car to be affordable for the average people they had to think of ways to lower the price and make the car to be efficiently built. In order for ford to do this they used the idea of interchangeable parts. They took parts from different ford cars already in production and used them for the mustang. The reason this helps lower the price is because they sytems are already in place to

I believe that we should keep the automobile and it should remain a central part in all American’s lives. To many of us the automobile represents freedom, and if we remove the automobile from America you are taking our freedom because we wouldn’t be able to travel wherever whenever we want. We would have to take the bus or a train or a plane and it would limit our ability to travel. Not to mention that people who first bought cars the car was very foreign to them. Before the car people had to bike walk or take a train which took effort. When the car came out they could just hop in the car and go wherever they wanted to.

The Mustang is segmented by end user. Mustang buyers are typically male, and relatively young, with the company attempting to reach ever-younger segments of the market to ensure that the car maintains its market share (Greenberg, 2009). The company also uses special models in order to maintain interest in the Mustang among pony car aficionados, many of whom are older, are interested in collecting, and remember the Mustang's glory days in the 1960s. Thus, the bulk of Mustangs are sold to today's core target audience, but the company also uses the brand to market to some middle-aged and older males as well, in a more premium segment, where marketing is based primarily on nostalgia for the Mustangs of old, and the new cars that capture that aesthetic.
