1966 Ford Mustang

The Ford Mustang is an automobile manufactured by the Ford Motor Company.  It was initially based on the second generation North American Ford Falcon, a compact car. Introduced early on April 17, 1964, dubbed as a “1964 ½” model by Mustang fans, the 1965 Mustang was the automaker’s most successful launch since the Model A. The model is Ford’s third oldest nameplate in production and has undergone several transformations to its current fifth generation.  Mustang created the “pony car” class of American automobiles – sports-car like coupes with long hoods and short rear decks, which gave their competitors a run for their money. The 1966 Mustang is included in the First Generation, whose original design was headed by Lee Iacocca and Donald Frye. After cutting development and production costs, the suggested retail price became $2,368.00.

The great looking Mustang you see before you  recently enjoyed a thorough refurbishing to become the easy driving classic it is. It looks beautiful – in and out – and runs like a charm. Assembled at the Metuchen, New Jersey, Ford Plant, it features the famous Mustang 289 engine and automatic transmission.  It’s a real bargain and could be your new “Classic Ride”.

Branson Auto Museum was conceived in August of 2007 and opened on May 15, 2009. Partners in the Museum,knew that the Branson area was hungry for car and automotive related things to do. Branson Auto Museum was originally scheduled to go into a purpose built 20,000 sq. ft. building on the Strip. When the partners discovered that the former crafts mall the "Engler Block" was available, they knew it would be the perfect fit for what they were planning. The buiding is layed out in sections that wander through the building which is the ideal setting for a museum. The charm and character of the building also lends itself nicely to a museum.
