See What The Ford Mustang II Could Have Looked Like
Early sketches from 1971 show the design evolution of the Ford Mustang II.
The Ford Mustang II was exactly the Mustang that Ford needed in the wake of the oil crisis of the 1970s, but this second-generation pony car rarely gets the respect or credit it deserves. As part of the third season of the Clasiq video series from Farmers Insurance, we get a glimpse of how the Mustang II went from early sketches to the final product.
To get the inside scoop of this car's design evolution, the video highlights Buck Mook, a designer who spent 35 years with Ford. In 1971, Mook was one of the young vehicle designers that Lee Iacocca had assembled to create the second-generation Ford Mustang, and his design was chosen as the initial inspiration for what would become the 1974 Ford Mustang II.
