The first Mustang was introduced on April 17, 1964. It was based on the platform of the compact Ford Falcon. That first Mustang was wildly successful, establishing the “pony car” class that soon saw competition from the Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, Plymouth Barracuda, Dodge Challenger, and AMC Javelin.
