"We put in dramatic shape and sculpture," Gelardi boasts, but quickly adds that Ford is "not re-inventing what Mustang is." There's good reason to temper any jarring notions of change - the car has been in production continuously for 45 years and Ford has sold more than 9 million, making it one of the most popular vehicles ever built by Detroit.
