Publisher's Synopsis
An Unauthorized Future Driver's Guide to FORD MUSTANG is the first book in Robert M. Kennedy's new educational series for children. This series aims to spark your child's interest in automotive history, accelerate their understanding of basic automotive terms and concepts, and fuel a lifelong passion for car culture. Best read with a parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle, these books have also been written specifically to encourage intergenerational bonding and storytelling-as each page is geared to shift its readers into conversation inspired by the characters' observations and questions.
In this installment, your child will learn about the Ford Mustang's historic 1964 debut, its evolution through the golden age of Detroit's horsepower wars, and how it survived the back-to-back fuel crises of the Malaise Era-to become today's modern American classic! They'll learn names like Lee Iacocca, Gale Halderman, and Carroll Shelby. They'll discover nameplates like Boss, Mach 1, SVO, SVT, and GTD. And they'll even be encouraged to share their own thoughts and opinions, learn more about their own family history, and (of course) work hard at school!
