Ford Mustang GT Tops “Most American Car” List
Quick, what’s the most American car?
If you said a Ford Mustang GT with a V8, a manual transmission, a baseball cap rack, and a hankerin’ for a bacon cheeseburger, congratulations. A couple of your choices are odd, but you’re on the right track.
The American University Kogod Business School has released its annual Made in America index, rating the percentage of parts used in each car that comes from the United States or Canada.
The iconic pony car tops the list. In V8-powered GT form with a 6-speed stick, it uses 88.5 percent American and Canadian parts. Buy it with an automatic transmission from Mexico, and you’ll slip to tenth. Several cars appear more than once, thanks to different configurations that use parts from different sources.
