When the first NA -73 was delivered to the Royal Air Force in September 1940 they ( the RAF ) decided to call them Mustang 1. -The name stuck.
They did not name it after the horse. They named it after the plane called the P-51 Mustang.
FROM THE PF 150 JET PLANE ..... NOT THE STUPID HORSE !!!!!!
It was named by the team that designed it.
The Mustang was initially developed by the RAF, and the name "Mustang" was given to the plane by an anonymous member of the British Purchasing Commission, the board that awarded military contracts. The P-51 designation was given by the U.S. Army Air Force; they originally wanted to call the plane the Apache, but it was soon dropped and the AAF kept the original RAF name.
Mustang Country released in 1976.
It can be named by number pair.
The P-51 Mustang was possibly the most famous American fighter of WW2. I don't recall any gun of this same name.
Yes. It was first introduced by Ford in 1964, and the name remains in use today.
because a mustang is a breed of horse The above answer doesn't explain why they used the Mustang as the logo. The car was named after the P51 Mustang Fighter plane of WW2. But a plane as a logo on a car would look rather silly! They chose the Mustang Pony as it encapsulated power & freedom, somethying that Ford wanted the car to be associated with.
Executive stylist John Najjar, who was a fan of the World War II P-51 Mustang fighter plane, suggested the name.
The Wright Brothers named it Wright Flyer.
The ford Mustang was "born" inDearborn Michigan on March 9th 1964. It was introduced to the public April 17, 1964 at the NY worlds fair. The name Mustang was suggested by John Najjar who liked the famous WWII fighter plane the p-51 Mustang
