JUST what is it about the Ford Mustang? This is not just a car, it is a sociological phenomenon which, more than any other car I’ve ever come across — Ferrari, Porsche, you name it — causes people to go weak at the knees with obvious signs of cardiac arrhythmia and a mild dose of psychosis thrown in.
