The Ford Mustang was introduced in 1964 and created a new market segment which was called the ‘Pony Car.’ For 1966, only minor styling changes were made, as the Mustang was still enjoying strong sales. For 1967, Ford reluctantly opted to re-style its class-leading Mustang for the 1967 model year as they were faced with increasing competition from other marques, including the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Charger. The 1967 Mustang became more visually imposing than its predecessor with its jutting grille, widened sheetmetal, and concave rear panel. With more engine bay space, the Mustang was now able to accommodate larger engines. Thus, the 1967 Mustang was the first to be fitted with a ‘big block’ V8, the 390 ‘S’ code. The hardtop coupe body styles was the most popular, with 356,271 examples sold.

Ford introduced the Model T in 1909 and produced millions at prices ($450 in 1913) that suited the working man’s budget.

The Speedster was one of many customs offered in 1913 by independent manufacturers, giving the owner a less expensive option to the very popular (and expensive) Stutz Bearcat and Mercer Raceabout. The stock body was replaced with a sharp looking “Speedster body” complete with a monocle windshield, and the heavy wooden wheels were replaced with strong and lightweight wire wheels. A complete kit of radiator, hood, floorboards, rear gasoline tank, and body could be purchased for around $100. Speedster body wasn’t just for looks, it made the Model T go faster by making it lighter.
