Roseann S. Kiesnowski said Five Stars. Great book. Thanks.. "GREAT book - Beware of poor packaging for shipping from Amazon!" according to Jeffrey Cushing.

In Mustang: Fifty Years, acclaimed Mustang writer Donald Farr celebrates this unbroken lineage of muscle: its phenomenal first-year sales, the new "pony car" genre it pioneered, and subsequent models that include the Mustang GT, Shelby GT350, Shelby GT500, Super Cobra Jet, Boss 302 and Boss 429â??all part of a line of American performance cars that continues on to this day
