Tuesday night ( 8/2/05) nightly NBC network news had a great segment on the "NEW" Mustang design. I saw it but I had been kicking back waiting for someone else to post it because I forgot details. But here goes...
A designer was interviewed that was a Vietnam 4 year old boy the first time he saw a Ford Mustang. Remember when the Military took the two 1970 "Lawman" Mustangs on tour, they had 1200 horsepower("they said" actually 780HP) and he saw one. I believe his sir name was "Lu". He grew up to be a designer of our fine '05 Stang. He had plenty to say about being inspired by the car in his young years and his love and dedication was shown in this segment. He said that the front end was purposely designed to look like Steve McQueen himself as seen in the movies poster from "Bullitt". They had the poster up in their design studio and he looked down on them every day. It was a great segment. He said that of every two sports cars sold in America right now, one is a Mustang! Anyone else see this?
