Before the fabled pony car first hit the streets a team of Ford designers and engineers was assembled to create a concept car to test the public's interest in a sporty new car. One of the treats in the video is seeing Phil Clark at work on the original Mustang logo. We also see Clark hard at work shaping the clay on the buck and his sketches adorn the walls of the studio. It's a tribute to an extremely gifted designer who died when he was only 32 but left behind a legacy of automotive design and a daughter, Holly, who's dedicated to making sure the world remembers her father's contribution to the Mustang.

This Ford PR film captures the inside story of the team's efforts that put the first Mustang on the road.

Thought Id give this a bump.
2012 will be the 50th anniversary of this concept Mustang. Maybe now the world is worthy - Give us the Mustang 1! Biggrin
