Test drive: 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1
The 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 is the latest in a line of high performance Mustangs that dates back to 1969 and is very different from the brand's other "Mach" model, according to Fox News Autos Editor Gary Gastelu.
It's the return of the pony express.
The United States Postal Service is issuing a new series of Forever stamps celebrating the American pony car era.
The Ford Mustang kicked off the new segment of stylish coupes and convertibles in the mid-1960s and led to some of the most iconic vehicles in history.
Models, including the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, followed the Mustang to market and remain available as new cars today.

"American automakers began catering to a segment of their customer base that was rapidly growing — younger drivers," the USPS said in a release.
