The car on the left is The Ford Mustang I, a small, mid-engined (4-cylinder), open two-seater concept car with aluminium body work that was built by Ford in 1962. Although it shared few design elements with the final production vehicle, it did lend its name to the line. The one on the right is the FIRST mustang ever built and is fully restored. The first-generation Ford Mustang was manufactured from March 1964 until 1973. It was initially introduced on April 17, 1964, as a hardtop and convertible with the fastback version put on sale in August 1964. At the time of its introduction, the Mustang shared its platform with the Falcon and was slotted into a compact car segment. Behind is a first generation of the Thunderbird , a two seat convertible produced for the 1955 to 1957 model years. It was the first 2-seat Ford since 1938.
