P-51 Mustang
P-51 Mustang poster art.
Most automotive historians and Ford insiders agree that a World War II fighter plane, the P-51 Mustang was the original driving force behind the vehicle’s eventual naming. The Mustang project had many founding fathers and influential people, including designer and executive stylist “John Najjar”, who is credited with co-designing the first prototype for the Ford Mustang. According to reports, Najjar was fascinated with a World War II fighter plane known as the P-51 Mustang. Widely considered the best American fighter plane of the Second World War era. The power and reliability of the P-51 Mustangs allowed bombardiers to carry out long-range missions from England to Germany. German Luftwaffe commander Herman Goering famously stated, “The day I saw Mustangs over Berlin, I knew the jig was up.” As a part of his initial pitch to the higher-ups, Najjar proudly touted the power of the P-51 Mustang planes and viewed the new automobile as an opportunity to commemorate the famous aircraft.
