"This is not a book you will read in one or two sittings and put on the shelf. You will pick it up again and again, and each time you will see things you've previously missed. The Mustang has had an interesting history and thanks to Donald Farr, this is its textbook." - Shelby Americana, '?flicking through all these images'?¿ is half the fun of this book. But it's not all glossy pictures; there's plenty of meat in here too... a Mustang must-have!'?, "This is not a book you will read in one or two sittings and put on the shelf. You will pick it up again and again, and each time you will see things you've previously missed. The Mustang has had an interesting history and thanks to Donald Farr, this is its textbook." - Shelby Americana "Donald Farr, a longtime writer and editor at Mustang-centric publications, provides a comprehensive recounting of the car's gestation as a design study in the early 1960s, its splashy debut at the 1964 New York World's Fair and its tumultuous life up through the fifth-generation model that is entering its final model year. The book concludes with sections on Mustangs for racing, in pop culture and for hobbyists and collectors.While not exactly a beach read, the book is more digestible, even for general audiences, than its dauntingly encyclopedic appearance might suggest. The captions for the many interesting photos are even more compelling." -  The New York Times   "This book, by Donald Farr of Mustang Monthly magazine, features almost everything Mustang. From the Shelby GT500, the Super Cobra Jet 428, the Boss 302, and the Boss 429, this book spans nearly 50 years of Mustang." - About.com   "Rare photos, along with many reproducitons of period marketing materials, and thorough but easily read discussions of the Mustang's evolution come together to create a truly comprehensive resource, belonging as much in the reference library of the serious Mustang enthusiast as it does on the coffee table of the everyday driver." - Hemmings "Donald Farr's relationship with the Mustang goes back nearly as long as my association with the iconic pony car. Mustang Fifty Years is representative of the rich history the Mustang has endured and Donald has so expertly written a book that is as beautifully put together as the car itself." - Lee Iacocca

Synopsis
In the early 1960s, Lee Iacocca ?¬ ?then director of the Ford division at Ford Motor Company ?¬ ?convinced Henry Ford II to produce a sporty four-seat car aimed at the emerging youth market. That car, essentially a reconfigured and re-skinned Falcon economy car, became the Ford Mustang, and it changed the automotive world like no other car before or since. In Mustang: Fifty Years , acclaimed Mustang writer Donald Farr celebrates this unbroken lineage of muscle: its phenomenal first-year sales, the new "pony car" genre it pioneered, and subsequent models that include the Mustang GT, Shelby GT350, Shelby GT500, Super Cobra Jet, Boss 302 and Boss 429 ?¬ ?all part of a line of American performance cars that continues on to this day. With 400 photos of the USA's iconic sports car and released in tandem with the Mustang's 50th anniversary, Mustang: Fifty Years is a must on the bookshelf of any gearhead or Ford aficionado., The Ford Mustang changed the automotive world like no other car before or since.
