Default Question??

Ok, so the horse represents our cars and the corral represents the garage...but if the Mustang was named after the old Mustang fighter plane..shouldn't we have an airplane in place of the horse and a hanger instead of a corral? Just a thought and curious where the horse came from out of all this?

Well obviously the horse was before the plane. I am just curious. Ponygrl is right. The plane could have been named after the horse but I don't know the actual orgin of all of this. I always heard the Mustang was named after the plane. It is just something to think about. I would rather have a horse on my car also, but just wondering if we were named after a plane why is the horse on the car?

From what I've read they originally wanted it to be named after the fighter plane but changed it for marketing reasons.

What if a different company could get to the name Mustang before Ford did? what would the mustang be called, if it were still as succesful with a different name?

Why is the most used pencil the number 2 pencil?

Why do you park in a driveway and drive in a parkway?

Do burn victims get discounts at crematoriums?


who knows the answers?

who cares?

A mustang is a type of wild horse. The plane was named after the horse.
The car was named after the horse.

Now that that is out of the way, here is the real question. What the HELL does a Snake have to do with a Horse?

good question... i always thought it had soemthing to do with the old shelby cobra's as standalone cars, breeding with the mustang to creat the Cobra's. But, my timeline may be messed up... But 'Cobra' has just always seemed to go with the mustang, to some extent better than 'Ghia' and 'Twister', we won't see those coming back anytime soon... while the mach 1 has returned, and rumors of a boss are on the horizon....
