Default Chassis Names?

Ok, I'm doing a Social Studies Project on the history of the Mustang.

I have this so far.

First Chassis:
64-73

Pinto Chassis:
74-78

Fox Chassis:
79-04

?DEW-Lite? Chassis:
2005 - On

What were the "official" names for all the chassis?

I know the 1st chassis was based on the falcon, the 2nd was based on the Pinto, the 3rd was based on the fox-frame, (the first car to use the fox frame was the Fairmont if I'm not mistaken), I don't know which frame is going under the 2005s...

So there weren't names for the first ones? Just "Falcon Chassis?"

Don't the 99+ Mustangs also use the SN95 chassis?

The next stang may be on the Focus chassis, Greg. I would put both the DEWlite and Focus chassis as possible platforms.
