FORD MUSTANG

-
The legendary Ford Mustang car appeared in the lineup of the American manufacturer in 1964 in two body styles: a convertible and a two-door sedan (coupe). Two years later, the company sold 1,000,000 copies of the car. The manufacturer offered ample opportunities for individualizing the machine. For example, only one Mustang interior could be designed in one of 34 options. A year after the start of production, various Mustang sports modifications began to be released. Overhaul of the car was carried out in 1969. The machine gained in size and weight, and also received new modifications. The second generation Mustang debuted in 1974. Cars became smaller but retained all types of bodies. In 1978, a third generation car was presented at the Geneva Motor Show. After that, the model was constantly updated, receiving new body options and engines. In 1993, Mustang IV entered the market, which was stylized as the first model. For the 40th anniversary of the brand’s history, the company launched the Mustang GT-R equipped with a 440-horsepower aluminum V8 engine. A completely new generation of the sports car was introduced in 2005 at the Detroit Auto Show. The new Ford Mustang is designed on a modified platform and features a more aggressive body.



The first generation Ford Mustang Convertible hit the market in 1964. In addition to the convertible, the model was presented in a coupe. The design of the car was similar to the design of the Continental Mark II luxury coupe, which was produced under the Lincoln brand in the mid-50s. A 2.8-liter Falcon six-cylinder engine was installed under the hood of the car. In 1967, a new version of the car appeared, which added in length and height. The next modernization was carried out in 1969. The machine is even further removed from the initial concept. A full second generation was born in 1974. The appearance of the car returned to its roots, and its design was developed by the Italian specialist Alessandro de Tomaso. Between 1979 and 1993, the third generation Mustang Convertible was produced. The car was designed on the Fox platform, and the appearance and dimensions of the car resembled the Scorpio and Sierra models. Convertibles were powered by V6 engines. In addition, a charged modification was released with a V8 engine developing a capacity of 175 horsepower. In 1984, to the 20th anniversary of the machine, the manufacturer released the limited edition GT350. In 1994, a new generation of Mustang came out, undergoing a major redesign. And in 2004, at the North American International Motor Show, the premiere of a completely redesigned car on the new D2C platform took place.

Ford Explorer 2010, jeep / SUV 5 doors, 5th generation (12.2010 - 05.2016) - Specifications and Equipment

-

The fifth generation of the Ford Explorer SUV (the first was released back in 1990) was marked by the abandonment of the frame structure in favor of a monocoque body. The technical basis is characterized by a whole set of multi-brand borrowings. For example, the model is built on the Ford D4 platform, which was a further development of the D3 platform for light SUVs, and the latter, in turn, is based on the P2 platform, originally created by Volvo engineers during the period when the brand was owned by the Ford concern.  The black body pillars (only the center rear ones painted in body color) hint at the design of the Land Rover SUVs that the same Chief Design Engineer Jim Holland worked on. The body is also adorned with trendy headlights and taillights of "stepped" shape. The basic equipment includes fog lamps, roof rails, LED direction indicators in the side mirrors and taillights. The seven-seater salon is upholstered in leather and trimmed with wood-like inserts, there a

FORD CORSAIR - a failed attempt

Returning to the models of past years, you can see a variety of ideas and forms. But in the matter of evolution, not only victories, but also defeats are important. Failed attempts help to create more successful models that can later become legendary. One of these attempts will be described in this article.   The Ford Corsair was designed to fill the price gap between the cheaper Cortina and the expensive Zephyr and Zodiac variants. He went into production in 1964 in the back of a sedan and in 1967 in the back of a station wagon. FORD CORSAIR 1967   A distinctive feature of this model is the arrow-shaped nose, and the Ford Thunderbird model is taken as the basis for the design. The design of the model was a cross between Taunus and Thunderbird. But, nevertheless, such a design did not delight the imagination of customers, and rather rejected than attracted to itself.   In the first versions, the car had a 1.5-liter engine with 60 horsepower. In subsequent versions, under the hood
