Take A Ride Back In Time

Henry Ford’s road to success started back in 1896 when he completed his first successful build of the Quadricycle. This vehicle looked a little different than what we’re accustomed to today, with a horse and buggy style appearance and four bicycle wheels to help transport it. Since that time, the Ford Motor Company has come a long way and has produced some of the highest-performing, best-selling vehicles on the market, one of them being the iconic Ford Mustang. The history of the Ford Mustang dates back to April 17, 1964, and it was named after the P51 Mustang Fighter Plane from World War II. The Ford Motor Company projected to sell 10,000 vehicles after the Mustang’s release, but they ended up receiving over 22,000 requests right away!
