Over the next five decades, the Mustang evolved to meet the appearance and performance standards of the given time period, and the Ford Motor Company proudly touted its muscle car’s many successes along the way. The festivities at the 1964 World’s Fair set the tone for a wild and exciting ride which millions of Mustang fans around the globe were eager to strap in for. Unlike most American vehicles that quietly debut in showrooms or “soft openings,” the Mustang grabbed the attention of the masses from the moment that it was first unveiled. On April 17, 1964, Henry Ford II, Lee Iaccoca, and company introduced the all-new Ford Mustang to a crowd of eager onlookers and curious media members alike at the annual World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows, New York. It hasn’t always been smooth sailing in the Motor City, but the team at Ford knows how to build up hype for big events like no other, highlighted by those celebrating the iconic pony car.

Nobody knows how to throw a party quite like the powers that be at the Ford Motor Company!
