Dating to 1966, "The Thrill of a Lifetime" presents the Ford Mustang as a sports car to be reckoned with -- a hard-driving, adrenalin producing, heart-pumping car that drives like a dream and has the soul of an untamed horse -- a car that will take you anywhere, attract the ladies and most importantly leave other drivers in the rear view mirror. The film also emphasizes Ford's racing heritage and prowess, while equating the convertible and hardtop Mustang with leisure, pleasure, speed and excitement. A classic movie promoting an all-American car!

The Ford Mustang has been in continuous production since 1964, and is currently the longest-produced Ford car nameplate. Over 10 million have been produced. The namesake of the "pony car" automobile segment, the Mustang was developed as a highly styled line of sporty coupes and convertibles derived from existing model lines, initially distinguished by "long hood, short deck" proportions. Originally predicted to sell 100,000 vehicles yearly, the 1965 Mustang became the most successful vehicle launch since the 1927 Model A. Introduced on April 17, 1964 (16 days after the Plymouth Barracuda), over 400,000 units were sold in its first year; the one-millionth Mustang was sold within two years of its launch.
