'62 Ford Mustang Concept

The 62 Ford Mustang Concept is a concept car build by Ford in 1962. There were only two 1962 Mustang concepts built: a fiberglass mockup model and a running car, which is currently displayed in the Henry Ford Museum. The concept holds little resemblance to later nameplates; the only commonalities virtually being the name and emblem. Later, Ford decided to design and build a four-seater coupe based on the existing Falcons platform and mechanics, which led to the 1963 Ford Mustang Concept II. Mattels model is very faithful to the original car, including the low-slung, sleek stance, air scoops, side radiator vents, open cabin, racing windshield, and chassis-integrated roll bar.
