Deja vue....1965

[MosportGreen66]

I don't want to offend anyone right now... So please hear me out. I think what Ford did with the Mustang was reinvent the feeling of being American. With the war going on, the Mustang revealing is during a prefect time. The energy and "retro" style of the car bring back memories of the 1960s and 1970s. I am not saying it Ford's only motivation, that would be absurd, but I think it is quite feasible that Ford put the "peddle to the metal" to get the car done based on current conditions we're in. What do you guys think?

It is ironic that the chief design engineer Ford is giving credit to is a young lad that came here from Vietnam during the evacuation and did well for himself. Ford may have sat down and looked at the demand for Mustang in 65 and thought maybe they can light that fire again, which it appears they have. But the almighty dollar is behind the drive for any large corporation. Don't forget Dodge, they are really playing up the Hemi for all it's worth and it is working to some extent. Yes, the GM exec's have always been a day late and they never seem to learn from their mistakes. Maybe it's time for GM to change those large CEO $$$$ packages into "stock performance" incentives, and get some fresh young blood there that listens to their customers. Get that Camaro plant cooking again.
