Were did Ford get the name Mustang?
The name "Mustang" for the Ford Mustang car was chosen by Lee Iacocca, who spearheaded the project. He didn't invent the name, but selected it from a list of suggestions. While the exact source of the suggestion isn't definitively documented, the name's popularity likely stemmed from its association with the wild, free-spirited image of the American mustang horse. It evoked a sense of power, freedom, and youthfulness, perfectly aligning with the intended marketing of the car.
