Mustangs Rode into North College Hill

 

Though some claim it was named for the speedy horse breed, but Ford's executive designer, John Najjar who helped create the prototype, was a fan of the World War II fighter plane, the P-51 Mustang. No matter what the inspiration was for the original car, the Ford Mustang has been a record setting automobile since the middle of 1964. The original estimate of selling 100,000 cars the first year was blown up when the 1965 model became the most successful vehicle launch since the Ford Model A in 1927. Over the years there have been various models and changes to the 'Stang, but it has remained one of the most popular sports cars in America. There were quite a few on display at the Headin' for the Hill car show in North College Hill. Here are some of them.
